it just forks the same mount process infinitely... i can't even `cd` into a single snapshot.
However, if i mount it manually, it works:
>$ mount -t zfs nvme/gentoo/var@2025-06-16-00-00 /mnt/zfs
Conclusion: don't use `.zfs/snapshot` directory, just do it the old "legacy" way.

yeah, ZFS has tons of Solarisms and "not invented here" syndrome, the "legacy" `mount` + fstab is replaced with `zfs mount`, kernel cache is replaced with separate ARC, NFS and samba config options are specified through dataset properties, this entire `.zfs/snapshot` directory thing...
It's all so stupid, I wish ZFS on Linux ditched all those things and became just a regular filesystem like any other without all those things bolted on and reinvented. ARC being separate has bitten me in the ass multiple times too, i wish you could just disable it and use standard kernel page cache...
