That seemed peculiar, so I asked in the zfs channel on IRC. Someone there checked a solaris system and reports that their snapshots have the .. link, so I'm guessing it's a FreeBSD problem. It's a nuisance because it confuses archivers/star-devel into thinking it can only do a partial dump, rather than a full filesystem dump. For what it's worth, I found that if I clone the snapshot, the clone has a .. link. >How-To-Repeat: root@servo# zfs snapshot tank/home@foo root@servo# cd /home/.zfs/snapshot/foo root@servo# ls -lda .* ls: ..: Not a directory drwxr-xr-x 9 1002 1002 10 Jul 3 02:59 ./ drwxrwxr-x 2 root operator 2 Jun 4 20:28 .snap/ >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
