Tim Foster blogged about this sort of thing a while ago now:

http://blogs.sun.com/timf/entry/zfs_automatic_snapshots_prototype_1
http://blogs.sun.com/timf/entry/zfs_on_your_desktop

(Yes, it can be quite frustrating how long it takes some new Solaris

development really ought to be going hand-in-hand to guarantee the best
experience for both CLI *and* GUI users.)

Cheeri,
Calum.
