re works for
other filesystems, eg UFS.
For UFS (as with other filesystems eg. NTFS) - we use the filesystem's
local snapshot mechanism (fssnap/vss). In all cases you can refer to the
snapshot as a block device.

Hi,
I was wondering if there is any way to read a ZFS snapshot using
system/zfs lib (ie refer to it as a block device).
I dug through the libzfs source but could not find anything that
could enable me to 'read' the contents of a
snapshot/
o would be equivalent/similar to:
/ret = read(snapname,buff,1024);/
Thanks,
