Mount ZFS snapshots inside VM

[decibel83]

Hi,
is there a way to mount ZFS snapshots to be accessible from the VM?
I know that snapshots on Proxmox are for the whole disk block and not for the single partition, but I'm wondering if there is a way to let users to access to snapshots themselves without mounting a snapshot from Proxmox.

Thanks!

What is your use case? To restore a file that was present in a snapshot? AFAIK there is no easy solution for this.

From your VM without any access to your PVE, no. With heavy scripting, this is possible.

Best general solution for the problem is to use a ZFS-based SAMBA server and all people are storing their stuff there and can access older versions with default windows shadow copy stuff.
