not surprised about the chrome part, but pretty shocked at the phone OS part. I know APFS migration was done in this way, but wouldn't storage considerations for this be massive?
- slopusila 8mo agowhat would be more massive would be phones not booting up because of a botched update. this way you can just switch back to the old partition
- marmarama 8mo agoNot really, because only the OS core is swapped in this way. Apps and data live in their own partitions/subvolumes, which are mutable and shared between OS versions. The OS core is deployed as a single unit and is a few GB in size, pretty small when internal storage is into the hundreds of GB.
