Description

Root filesystem snapshots can be created automatically around pacman activity on Btrfs systems. It is useful for Arch-based setups where users want a quick rollback point before package changes.

This is package-manager automation with storage impact. Confirm snapshot location, retention, and restore steps before relying on it, because automatic snapshots can consume space or give a false sense of backup safety.
