Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you're saying, but 'zfs clone' is

the way to mount a snapshot. Creating a clone uses up a negligible

of disk space, provided you never write to it. And you can always set
readonly=on if that's a concern.
So something like:
zfs snapshot fastsan/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
zfs clone fastsan/[EMAIL PROTECTED] fastsan/zfs3/night
zfs set readonly=on fastsan/zfs3/night
...do backup...
zfs destroy fastsan/zfs3/night
Yep. Don't forget to destroy the snapshot as well, if you want your
space back ('zfs destroy fastsan/[EMAIL PROTECTED]').
That said, if it works to point Legato at the .zfs/snapshot/nightly
directory, then that seems like less steps.
