Setting snapdir to visible should fix this right away:
# zfs set snapdir=visible tank/foo
it did indeed!
any reason why this should not be the default behaviour?
Others mentioned "rsync" or "cp" (used recursively) might pick up these
directories. These are good reasons, especially if you've got a few
hundred snapshots, which would not be uncommon when using ZFS on a host
that's doing disk-based backups.
Other gotchas would be some of the periodic scripts - you don't want
locate.updatedb traversing all that, or the setuid checks. Also I know
I'm prone to sometimes doing a brute-force "find" which can also dip into
those hundreds of snapshot dirs. In general, I think having the
directories hidden is a good default.
Wouldn't be opposed to having the "pwd" issue fixed though...
