It forces either a re-tasting of all the geom providers.  Also can have 
an optional path name of a specific device to re-taste, and I think it 
should also work with the other geom classes, so a gmirror taste would 
re-taste all the geom mirror providers.

Not snapshot like a photo, snapshot like 'point in time copy of storage'.

It would be very nice to be able to simulate a real hard disk.
