I'm cc'ing the those most involved with the current code. When taking a dump(8) on a ufs filesystem with a snapshot node the dump grabs the snapshot file and trys to dump it, shouldn't some flag or something be set on the file that tells dump(8) to skip over it? If the semantics can be agreed on I can take a shot at implementing a fix/workaround/whatever. I particularly think that dump should _never_ try to grab a .fsck_snapshot file.
