When I run the following script, I get a warning message, and I'm
wondering if it's ignorable or indicates there is a little more work to be
done in getting dump/restore happy with ufs2...

$ cd /altroot
$ dump -L -0 -a -f - /dev/$ROOT | restore -rf -
  ...
warning: ./.snap: File exists

Does this mean my snapshots are being overwritten on the target disk? And
if so, that's a good thing, right?

Cheers,
