I use snapper from portage. Snapper itself works just fine. I've |
| 10 |
found that trying to integrate it into portage (before/after snapshots |
| 11 |
on every emerge) is just way too much overhead (it goes fast, but you |
| 12 |
end up with a bazillion snapshots). Also, I've had deadlock problems |
| 13 |
with deleting multiple snapshots at once, which is certainly a kernel |
| 14 |
problem. So, right now I'm using snapper to manage snapshots but I do |
| 15 |
not use time/event-based snapshots at all - I just create them when |
| 16 |
needed and clean them up manually, and carefully. |
