The only way to effectively avoid the problem would be to teach UFS to

special hiiden hint flag.
Wouldn't that make it somewhat hard to actually access the snapshots ?
Sorry, I meant that the dirent would be surpressed from normal lookups
and readdirs just just while it's unsafe to access it.
That would mean that .snap is a hardcoded directory name, so if a user
used .snapshots or some such name it would not obey the same principles,
correct? Or would it be more of 'while snapshots are happening, ignore
the directory containing the snapshot currently being created'?
