This was posted earlier but i guess it got lost in the shuffle i still
think its a good idea. Even thought you can put  10x32 snapshots,
doesn't mean we should have to.

snapshot subdirectories enhancement that could make dealing with
snapshots better, perhaps we can create a directory structure under
.zfs/snapshot so the user can organise the snapshots for instance.

cd .zfs/snapshot
mkdir daily
mkdir monthly
mkdir important

then the user could use unix commands like mv  to put snapshots where
he needs them it would also make snapshot management easier if i want
to delete all daily snapshots older than a week.

find .zfs/snapshot/daily -ctime +7d

and to create snapshots and place in the special directories

zfs snapshot  data/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/05-05-2006

all snapshot directories would start under .zfs/snapshot
