Namely, being inside a snapshot directory, I can't create a file/directory
with the name of the snapshot directory.

For example, inside /mnt/aSnap, I can't create a file named 'aSnap', so I'm
filling this bug report.
It seems that the snapshot directory is partially created before the
snapshot is taken, so that the snapshot directory half-exists (can be
looked up, but doesn't appear in listings) inside the snapshot itself.
I think it's this one, not merged so far (author CCed)

Thanks, that sounds like it addresses this.  I'll wait for that patch or
another fix to be applied, as I am not able to assess whether it's
reasonable.

Ben.

I say we take off; nuke the site from orbit.  It's the only way to be sure.
