Well, the hammer snapshot code syncs the whole filesystem,
meaning all the PFS's get synced so the transaction id will in
fact apply to all PFSs. It only creates the softlink in one
place, so the next pruning operation will only prune around
the snapshot in that particular PFS. Of course, one could duplicate
the softlink in all the PFSs. It's just a softlink with a special
string so its easy to do from userland.
