By default we identify the active system dataset by doing `findmnt / --noheadings --output source`. If exactly one source returns that is the exact name of a ZFS dataset in an imported zpool we create a snapshot on it. If no source returns we silently exit. If more than one source returns we raise an error and halt the `pacman` transaction. -We retain two different snapshot chains, one for `pacman` transactions that only affect what we are calling _trivial_ packages and a separate chain for _important_ packages. By default only the exact regular expression package name match `^linux$` is considered important. Whenever an important package is affected by a transaction a snapshot goes into the corresponding chain. In all other cases - when an important package is not affected - snapshots go into the trivial chain +We retain two different snapshot chains, one for `pacman` transactions that only affect what we are calling _trivial_ packages and a separate chain for _important_ packages. By default only the exact regular expression package name match `^linux$` is considered important. Whenever an important package is affected by a transaction a snapshot goes into the corresponding chain. In all other cases - when an important package is not affected - snapshots go into the trivial chain. We use `zfs-auto-snapshot` both for snapshot creation and for destroying old snapshots. The _trivial_ snapshot chain by default keeps 15 snapshots, the _important_ chain keeps 5. The thought process here is that you will likely not futz around with a kernel every day whereas you may very well install arbitrary packages multiple times a day. Snapshots should keep you safe for a couple of days hence the defaults of 5 and 15 snapshots, respectively.
