Another odd thing about snapshots is that the time shown by ls -l is mostly current. Havn't found a rule for that yet. ls -lu seems to show the creation time even tho the man page for ls says that's the last access time. Since the snapshot itself shouldn't (logically) change after creation, it would seem sensible to make the modification time stay constant. (also: why doesn't ls have a creation time option?) ... this all came up for me because the fileprune utility doesn't seem to be able to do anything sensible with a pile of snapshots.
