Package: zfs-fuse
Version: 0.6.0+critical20100301-5
Severity: normal

Despite the description of .zfs/snapshot in zfs(1M), it does not appear
to be accessible in the zfs-fuse implementation.

Apparently a workaround is to perform a "zfs clone" of the snapshot and
access that instead. However this is bletcherous.

Until this is fixed, I suggest adding a comment to the manpage explaining
that .zfs/snapshot cannot be used in the zfs-fuse implementation, and
possibly suggesting workarounds.

As a Solaris ZFS user, I am rather disappointed with the shortcomings of
the zfs-fuse reimplementation. I submit this bug less in the expectation
that debian can fix the problem, but rather to bring "gotchas" to the
attention of other potential users of zfs-fuse.
