• Btrfs snapshots and rollback with snapper on SUSE: pre/post pairs, GRUB boot, and cleanup

  On a Btrfs root, SUSE's snapper takes a pre/post snapshot pair around every zypper or YaST change, lists them with snapper list, and can either roll the whole system back or boot directly into an old snapshot from the GRUB menu. Old snapshots are cleaned up automatically, but the cleanup policy — not disk size alone — decides how much history is kept.
