Setup Snapper Config

Initialize snapper management for a BTRFS subvolume that isn't yet covered.

When to use

First-time setup of snapper on a subvolume

Extending snapper to a new mount point

Establishing retention policies for a partition

Inputs to gather

Config name (e.g., root, home)

Mount path (e.g., /, /home)

Retention preferences (optional; timeline snapshots, keep-last count)

Procedure

Preflight: Verify mount path is BTRFS with stat -f -c %T <path>. Verify snapper is installed.

Run sudo snapper -c <name> create-config <path>.

List the created config at /etc/snapper/configs/<name> and ask user about retention:

TIMELINE_CREATE (auto hourly snapshots; yes/no)
NUMBER_LIMIT (keep-last count; suggest 5–10)

If user provides values: Edit /etc/snapper/configs/<name> with new settings.

Confirm snapper is running: sudo systemctl status snapper-timeline.timer.

Output / side effects

Snapper config created and initialized. Timeline snapshots may start automatically if TIMELINE_CREATE=yes.

Safety / constraints

Modifies /etc/snapper/configs/. Requires sudo. Should not touch system files outside the snapper config directory.
