This is a good patch and having snapshots better documented is a big help to all. Could you make one more pass over your patch and change one thing. All sentances should end at the end of a line. Maybe comma's too, I don't remember too much about them. What I wrote above is an example of what I mean. There are no sentances like the previous one to this that don't end at the end of a line. +.It Cm snapshot +This option allows a snapshot of the specified filesystem to be taken. +The +.Fl u +flag is required with this option. +Note that snapshot files must be created in the filesystem that is being +snapshotted. +You may create up to 20 snapshots per filesystem. +Active snapshots are recorded in the superblock, +so they persist across unmount and remount operations and across system +reboots.
