For Windows/CIFS clients, the solution I use is:
ln -s .zfs/snapshot snapshot
This allows people browsing a filesystem to simply see a "snapshot"
directory and browse into it. There isn't a user on earth that's too dumb
to use this.
For Windows/CIFS clients, many other people prefer the "Previous Versions"
support, which is available if you use the "sharecifs" property (or whatever
it is.) Personally I prefer a complex installation of Samba instead.
For anybody using NFS/linux/unix clients, I recommend zhist. (But I'm
biased in favor of zhist.)
I agree the ".snapshot" directory in Netapp-style is more user friendly, and
kind of cooler, but fundamentally a security problem. See here:
