Inspite the zfs set snapdir=visible on all my zpools and sub-pools and seeing the parameter being accepted with zfs get, the .zfs directory is neither accessible nor is it visible. Mounting the pool in Opensolaris does the job, i get the snapshots and the .zfs directory, but I prefer linux.

I'm using Ubuntu 9.10, the git clone http://git.zfs-fuse.net/official to get the source and scons ; scons install.

Pools are simply created with zpool create storage /dev/sdb and seem to work perfectly except for that one little detail.

I think it used to work fine with 0.5.0 and ubuntu 8.something (it's been a while). I love snapshots so its a big problem for me. I'm I missing something or did i hit a bug?

There is work underway in an experimental branch (search the google list for 'ctldir'). However, it is, erm, expermental.

It definitely hasn't worked before. I like snapshots too :) Perhaps OSol + NFS works for you for now?

You are welcome to test the experimental branch.
