If that's the case, you can set a ZFS property to show the snapshot-Directories and navigate to the files in the snapshot: ewer@solewer:~$ zfs get snapdir rpool/export/home/ewer NAME PROPERTY VALUE SOURCE rpool/export/home/ewer snapdir hidden local ewer@solewer:~$ pfexec zfs set snapdir=visible rpool/export/home/ewer ewer@solewer:~$ ls /export/home/ewer/.zfs/s shares/ snapshot/ ewer@solewer:~$ ls /export/home/ewer/.zfs/snapshot/ zfs-auto-snap_daily-2012-09-10-14h04 zfs-auto-snap_hourly-2012-09-13-11h08 zfs-auto-snap_daily-2012-09-12-08h08 zfs-auto-snap_hourly-2012-09-13-12h08 zfs-auto-snap_daily-2012-09-13-08h08 zfs-auto-snap_hourly-2012-09-13-13h08 ewer@solewer:~$ zfs get snapdir rpool/export/home/ewer NAME PROPERTY VALUE SOURCE rpool/export/home/ewer snapdir visible local As it seems currently at my system, that you can also access the snapshots, even when the property is not set -> It seems, as if it controls only the visiblity. The <TAB>-completion of bash doesn't work, but I can still change to .zfs/.
