/usr is a 33GB HW/Raid partition, how can it possibly hold 6 33GB

If I mount each one of these, they all report to df that they are indeed 33BB
file systems!
How is this magic achieved?
Is there a doc somewhere with an explaination?
Snapshots only hold the originals of blocks that have changed, but still
look like a complete file system when you mount them.
From man mount:
Further details can be found in the file at
/usr/src/sys/ufs/ffs/README.snapshot.
which should have a pointer to the original paper.
