I agree, so the point is that as usual, the solution fixes one problem by
creating
another one :-)
so basically, the bug is still there, or is it a feature?
ie:
ls /h/.zfs/snapshot/20101225/ works
cd /h/.zfs/snapshot/20101225/ works
pwd
pwd: .: No such file or directory
btw, why use rsync if 'zfs send| zfs recv' work realy nice?
cheers,
