Hello all.

Similar but maybe outdated question? https://github.com/freedombox/Plinth/issues/568


Quick question:

Is it possible to use Snapshots on freedombox running on a raspberry pi 3?

I am trying to install Snapshots but I get this crazy error:

Error installing application: ('snapshot', '', 'Creating config failed (/sbin/chsnap not installed).\nTraceback (most recent call last):\n File "/usr/share/plinth/actions/snapshot", line 161, in <module>\n main()\n File "/usr/share/plinth/actions/snapshot", line 157, in main\n subcommand_method(arguments)\n File "/usr/share/plinth/actions/snapshot", line 61, in subcommand_setup\n subprocess.run(command, check=True)\n File "/usr/lib/python3.5/subprocess.py", line 398, in run\n output=stdout, stderr=stderr)\nsubprocess.CalledProcessError: Command \'[\'snapper\', \'create-config\', \'/\']\' returned non-zero exit status 1\n')


According to the Issue #568 (https://github.com/freedombox/Plinth/issues/568 ) SunilMohanAdapa says that this error is because raspberry pi is using ext4 and NOT btrfs.

So my question is: can btrfs be used on a raspberry pi running freedombox?

I essentially want to have to snapshots and backups of my fbx. And I know this could be achieved many ways (make a cronjob with rsync, etc) but I would like to try out the Snapshots module that is built into freedombox.


I tried to ask on IRC and it was a ghosttown....

thanks so much,
J.J.


I don't know understand many of these links but they seems like they may help me:
