Hello Currently I’m running Opensuse Tumbleweed and I’ve come to really love snapper/Btrfs snapshot rollback feature. I see that eOS offers support for BTRFS but I cant tell does it fully configure the subvolumes needed to use snapper/timeshift like I’m used to on OS or will I need to manually build those like in arch?
thanks
By default the installer make the following four subvolumes:
@ mounted at /
@home mounted at /home
@cache mounted at /var/cache
@log mounted at /var/log
If your use case requires other subvolumes, you would need to create them yourself
Edited to correct a BIG “typo” 
Isn’t it just @ or did it change to @Root?
It is @ as far as i know.

Corrected accordingly!
Thanks so much! I think those are the required ones for snapper/timeshift rollbacks
Thanks!
timeshift requires @ and optionally @home
snapper doesn’t care. You can use any name/structure you want.
Oh thats even more perfect then! Thank you!
