readonly=on worked (at least with -F), but then it got the error creating a 
mountpoint I mentioned above.  So I took away readonly=on, and it got past that 
part, however the snapshots past the first one take an eternity.  I left it 
overnight and it managed to get from 21MB copied for the second snapshot to 
26MB.  Admittedly, I'm trying to back up to a thumb drive (a fast one), but the 
first snapshot it copies over, which contains 13GB, doesn't take very long.  It 
slows to a crawl after the first snapshot is copied.  iostat shows the thumb 
drive at 100% busy, but it's not actually doing much.  I'll try turning off 
atime and not using -F and possibly also not auto-mounting the backup drive 
(mountpoint=legacy or mountpoint=none I guess) so as to eliminate other 
possible sources of changed data.  Anyone know why it would go so slow after 
the first snapshot?
