Yes... but that will need a manager with access to zfs itself... but with
dedupe you can use a userland manager (much more flexible)
If you delegate snapshot/mount ZFS allow permissions to the user the
management software runs as, then you can create/destroy/rename the
snapshots over NFS/CIFS/FTP/SCP/HTTP by doing mkdir/rmdir/mv in the
.zfs/snapshot directory for snapshots.
Unfortunately there isn't away I know of to create clones using the .zfs
directory.
