The Readme tells you:
"To create a snapshot of your /var filesystem, run the command:
mount -u -o snapshot /var/snapshot/snap1 /var"
So, i think you can only make a snapshot of a single filesystem.
So, maybe your /var is not a single filesystem.
If you want to be sure, type:
#mount
and take a look what kind of filesyste, you have.
It depends on how you installed FreeBSD. Normally you will have:
/
/usr
/tmp
(/var)
So, this _could_ be the problem, but i am not sure.
