Yes, from the Lustre point of view, the snapshots are currently totally
separate filesystems.
You would need to generate the automount map from "lctl snapshot_list".
However, if you mounted a client on the MGS temporarily after creating the
snapshot you could write the automount map into e.g.
It's only the mapping from the snapshot name to hex value used for
mounting I'm asking about. It's explained in the doc (30.3.3. Mounting a
Snapshot).
The client cannot call 'lctl snapshot_list'. Guess the main fs and its
snapshot fs' are so separated that putting the mappings in the client
/proc

Hi,
I've tested snapshots and they work as expected.
However, I'm wondering how the clients should mount without knowing the
mount names of snapshots. As I see it there are two possibilities:
1. Clients get ssh (limited) access to MGS (Don't want that).
2. The names are communicated through
