Unable to view snapshots from /.zfs.

[silverspr]

HI have you tried or been able to view snapshots from the /.zfs dir? I am running into a no such file or directory error, not sure if its "me" or a different problem. I've tried a fresh install with ZFS-root.sh w/o any modifications...still wasn't able to view from w/.zfs dir. I am able to mount and view the snapshot, confirming the snapshots are not empty. Thanks, hope you enjoyed your time away.

Hrm, odd. Can you see the root dataset .zfs dir ? From my main workstation ...

Your ursa home dir is mounted at /home/ursa - look in /home/ursa/.zfs. The .zfs dirs are virtual ones mounted in the root of each dataset mountpoint

DRAT I was sure I had tried /home/ursa!! That worked, so It is me!!
so I am doing this wrong, its the mountpoint and not the root of the pool that you use ...

thank you again.... you are the king!!
