Hello James, I'm not really sure what your expecting to see with ls, but I'll give you some tips and hopefully it will help. If your interested in seeing all the snapshots, running "zfs list -t snapshot" will give you the list of all the snapshots, this can be piped into grep to narrow the list down. These snapshots can be mounted like so: "mount -t zfs zroot@SNAPSHOT /mnt" replace SNAPSHOT with a actual snapshot, in this case something like 2017-10-10_12.10.00--14d should work. Hope this helps, Richard Gallamore On Mon, Oct 23, 2017 at 11:54 AM, James B.
