I know that the snapshots aren't mounted by default. (And are mounted/unmounted on the fly if needed.) That's probably part of it, at least. Have you tried setting the 'snapdir' property to 'visible'? I don't know that would help, but it'd be worth trying. Daniel T. Staal --- This email copyright the author.

I even can copy one or more of them to the live system. However, the moment I try to do this from within Midnight Commander I'm kicked out of the snapshot directory right into the root of the live filesystem. That way not able to manipulated snapshot files. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
