Hi Andy,

I liked you saying "We've been lazy", in one of your emails :-)

I am not sure whether we are consistent on displaying ".snapshot" in the
ls output.  I think it should not have been displayed (but not sure).
If this is a new behavior you seeing, please open a defect and we can
look at that.

Regards,

Hi Jobi,

I got a kick out of that email you sent a couple of days ago, it was
like "Memo to File System Manager" only sent by you to the rest of the
company.  Kind of perplexing, really.

Anyway, I noticed this today and I'm wondering what's going on:

Shouldn't the '.snapshot' directory be hidden in a normal directory
listing?  Or is it supposed to show up at the topmost level, but not in
lower levels?  Just curious.

Cheers,
