Ok, I checked https://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Snapper and they do support
LVM and ext4, and they have a bullet of auto-removing old snapshots. I
hope they did it right, perhaps I need to make a new test drive with the
latest release.
Snapshots on ZFS can't be zero cost, so you need to account for them
there, too.
