Netapp snapshots are invisible for tools doing opendir()/readdir() One could simulate this with symlinks for the snapshot directory: store the snapshot elsewhere (not inplace) and create a symlink to it, in every directory. > Personally I prefer to have a /snapshots directory on every FS My users want the snapshots locally in a .snapshot subdirectory.
