Also consider that you might not want to snapshot the entire pool. For instance, if you have a media server, you may have a dump dir and a torrent dir, you probably wouldn 't want to snapshot this because it changes a lot and the snapshots could grow very large (or you may wish to snapshot it but only for a couple days back)
Where you may wish to keep snapshots going back way further on your other filesystems. You may also want to use dedup on some filesystems and not others. I also keep separate filesystems for different uses on my network and then use different ACL's and cifs mounts, where i have a couple filesystems which are read write to everyone, and others which are read only and then each user has thier own share which is only for them....For this type of stuff, it's cool.
