I am trying to get snapshots working on FreeBSD 5.0.  I looked in the 
handbook on the web and the file:

"/usr/src/sys/ufs/ffs/README.snapshot"

and executed the command:

"mount -u -o snapshot /var/snapshot/snap1 /var"

and get the message:

"mount: /var/snapshot/snap1 on /var: specified device does not match 
mounted device"


I am somewhat new to the BSD OS so any help would be greatly 
appreciated.  Thanks.
