Thanks Peter.
So, it's a shapshot -- is it still usable? Is it safe to delete it?
snapinfo doesn't know about it:
# snapinfo -v /home
/dev/ad4s2e mounted on /home
no snapshots found
I'm not in the habit of making snapshots ... but it might have come from a
dump -L.
Anyway, I think the conclusion is that it's a snapshot, of mysterious
origin, and it's probably not useful.
Thanks again,
