Closer investigation reveals that I've getting this error:

    laptop# fsck -B /var
    background fsck lacks a snapshot

So, that explains it.  The background fsck isn't running.  So, any ideas
why it isn't snapshotting?

    laptop# ls -ld /var/.snap
    drwxrwx---  2 root  operator  512 Oct  2 12:09 /var/.snap
