FAQ

Does snap-pac backup non-btrfs /boot partitions?

No, but you can add a hook that does it for you. It would be something like the following:

[Trigger]
Operation = Upgrade
Operation = Install
Operation = Remove
Type = Package
Target = linux

[Action]
Description = Backing up /boot...
When = PreTransaction
Exec = /usr/bin/rsync -avzq --delete /boot /.bootbackup

Note that you will probably want to name the file with a numbered prefix less than 05 so that it is run before the snap-pac pre snapshot takes place. That will ensure that the snapshot taken will have the boot partition back-up corresponding with the state of the system. For example, you could name it 04-backupboot.hook.

How do I link old kernel modules automatically when the kernel is upgraded?

This behavior is no longer a part of this package. Use a pacman hook like the following:

[Trigger]
Operation = Upgrade
Operation = Install
Operation = Remove
Type = Package
Target = linux

[Action]
Description = Symlinking old kernel modules...
When = PostTransaction
Exec = /usr/bin/bash -c "find /usr/lib/modules -xtype l -delete; ln -sv /.snapshots/$(snapper -c root list | awk 'END{print $1}')/snapshot/usr/lib/modules/$(uname -r) /usr/lib/modules/"
