   | Yes, that is exactly what I meant, which would make sense in the
   | context of the first part I suggested:
   |
   | 	- Take a snapshot without mounting it:
   |
   | 		# snapfs /home /home/.snap/20260718
 
 Except it didn't, there wasn't enough explanation, it might just
 have meant first "this is how one simply makes a snapshot" (that one
 was clear enough) and second, "this is what you do if you want to make
 a snapshot and have it mounted".
 
 If "Mount a snapshot" had been "Mount an existing snapshot" or words
 to that effect, it would have been clearer.   That's why I asked which
 meaning you intended.
