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