I'm somewhat confused about snapshots. Are snapshots (e.g. created with dump -L) supposed to be always in a consistent state? What happens if a snapshot is taken, while background fsck is fixing a filesystem? If snapshots are not always consistent, how can one be sure about dump -L output? Is it better to take a snapshot first, fsck it, and _then_ dump the snapshot without -L (how?)?
