>Description:

The Handbook does not talk about using FFS Snapshots, a new feature in
5.0-CURRENT.  Documentation is available from Kirk McKusick's Usenix
papers, and in /sys/ufs/ffs/README.snapshot.

A basic section on this functionality should exist with pointers to
more informatin.

>How-To-Repeat:

Try to use FFS Snapshots to make consistent backups of a live file
system.

>Fix:

Open a PR, and hope someone has time to document this before you do.
