Hi,
I have a newly installed Manjaro 21.2.3 with BTRFS, so TimeShift is installed by default.
- Few hours after my installation, i installed linux515-headers because it’s required by openrazer-meta.
I noticed that a new snapshot in TimeShift although normally, snapshots are created automatically with an upgrade.
I have this in pacman.log

Is it normal that a snapshot is automatically created in this case ?
- Any snapshot created takes only @/ and not /@cache nor /@log, which is fine.
But could you please tell me where this is defined ?
In my system, i see /usr/share/libalpm/hooks/00-timeshift-autosnap.hook, /etc/timeshift-autosnap.conf, but i can’t see in those files where any particular subvolume is included in the snapshots.
Where is it ?
Thanks in advance
