A) You need to set snapdir visible and manually mount a snapshot. $ sudo zfs set snapdir=visible tank/bob $ sudo zfs mount tank/bob@yesterday $ ls -l /tank/bob/.zfs/snapshot/yesterday/ You can see existing snapshots via: $ zfs list -t snapshot Q) Is .zfs snapdir auto-mounting supported? A) No, not at this time. You must manually "zfs mount" snapshots manually to see them in the snapdir. Q) OK, I manually mounted my snapshot but still cannot see it in Finder. What gives? A) Currently mounted snapshots are only visible from Terminal, not from Finder.
