LSS shares take temporary snapshots which retain the share's files, folders and permissions exactly as they existed at the moment the snapshot was taken. It can be helpful to access a snapshot to view a previous version of a file or to restore recently deleted data.
Snapshots are stored in the .zfs/snapshot
directory at the base level of the share. The .zfs
directory does not appear in directory listings, so you must navigate there explicitly in order to view the snapshots.
