Same brain-fault twice in two days.

	More useful question: what should I look at for info on
	using snapshots?  It seems to me I should already know,
	but I have to admit I don't.  What's worse, I think I
	even asked this once before...

	In any case, I'd like to try them out (on current) for
	some ideas I have.

General references are found at:

	http://www.mckusick.com/softdep/index.html

The soft updates paper has a section on snapshots. The background
fsck paper goes into snapshots (and their general usage) in a bit
more detail, so is likely to be more useful.
