My understanding--from a few years ago--was that NetApp's filesystem
snapshot facility was something of a side-effect of NetApp's
propriety WAFL file system/implementation and that it would be quite
difficult for another filesystem to provide the same types of snapshots.
Perhaps the technology of other vendors/filesystems has changed in
the intervening years, however.

Let me clarify -
I'm wondering what companies, other than Network Appliance, also
incorporate snapshot capability? Maybe they all do, and use
different
wording, or some implementations are better/preferred than others?
The Engenio-based RAID arrays can do volume snapshots, but that's
a different thing than filesystem snapthots.
