/var not in the snapshots

[Caramel]

The /var directory is not in the snapshots

See the exclusions
-in init (for the snapshots after installaion or update) line 1856

echo -e 'dev\nmnt\nproc\nrun\nsys\ntmp\nvar\n.fsckme.flg\nlost+found\nroot/.XLOADED\n.control' > exclusions1

-in /usr/local/easy_version/easy-version-control line 582

echo -e 'dev\nmnt\nproc\nrun\nsys\ntmp\nvar\n.fsckme.flg\nlost+found\nroot/.XLOADED\n.control' > /tmp/easy_version_control/snapshot-exclusions1

When you rollback, the directory .session is totally removed and recreated with the snapshot we return to (See /sbin/rollback in initrd)

So the content of /var is lost

Hmmm, yes.
I can understand removing some subfolders, such as /var/cache, /var/tmp, /var/lock

OK, I will think about it some more.
Thanks for reporting.

I have implemented a fix:

I'm sorry

In /usr/local/easy_version/easy-version-control I had missed the line 404

echo -e 'dev\nmnt\nproc\nrun\nsys\ntmp\nvar\n.fsckme.flg\nlost+found\nroot/.XLOADED\n.control' > /tmp/easy_version_control/snapshot-exclusions1

NEW EDIT: It replaces the previous Edit
I tested the creation of a snapshot with the modified line from the fix in easy-version-control (both lines 404 and 582 were replaced)

I was surprised as there was missing directories or files in the /var directory of the snapshot but the snapshot save only the /var in /mnt/wkg/.session.

So mksquasfs worked well in my test
