Cleanup old snap-sync snapshot #82

Closed cmonty14 closed 3 years ago

cmonty14 commented 4 years ago

Hi, checking the available snapshots for a config I get a list that includes many snapshots with description "old snap-sync snapshot (you may remove)".

vlccirax:~ # snapper -c x86_64-efi list

I think it would make sense to cleanup these snapshots automatically. Otherwise you run into risk that filesystem is marked as full.

This request is related to issue #74.

The number algorithm should clean them up automatically once they go beyond the number you have set in your settings.

I guess this is a duplicate of https://github.com/wesbarnett/snap-sync/issues/74

I also strongly recommend adding an option to delete those.

Duplicate of #74 . Working on an update to resolve this.
