I have set up hourly snapshots on my dataset.
As an experiment I created a readonly CIFS share to the hidden zfs/snapshot folder of my dataset by pointing it to /mnt/tank/MYDATA/.zfs/snapshot
Through this share I get very convenient access to older versions of my data with folders like auto-20160322.1700-2w
It seems to be working fine but somehow it feels wrong. Is there any risk in doing this?
