How do I mount a ZFS snapshot?
I created a zpool and in it there is a zfs volume. I used that to backup data on another server using ISCSI. Now I have the data and want to take a snapshot so that I can view it on another machine that is not in production.

Here is what I have done
Code:
# zfs snapshot mat/vol_1@snap1
# zfs list -t snapshot
NAME              USED  AVAIL  REFER  MOUNTPOINT
mat/vol_1@snap1      0      -  3.35G  -
# zfs send mat/vol_1@snap1 | zfs receive mat/vol_2
cannot receive new filesystem stream: destination 'mat/vol_2' exists
must specify -F to overwrite it
# zfs send mat/vol_1@snap1 | zfs receive mat/vol_3
#
#
# zfs list -t snapshot
NAME              USED  AVAIL  REFER  MOUNTPOINT
mat/vol_1@snap1      0      -  3.35G  -
mat/vol_3@snap1      0      -  3.35G  -

Now I want to view the data so I
Code:
# zpool get listsnapshots mat
NAME  PROPERTY       VALUE      SOURCE
mat   listsnapshots  on         default
# zpool set listsnapshots=off mat
#  zpool get listsnapshots mat
NAME  PROPERTY       VALUE      SOURCE
mat   listsnapshots  off        local
# cd /mat
# ls
# cd /
# ls /mat/vol_3/.zfs/snapshot

But I cannot see the snapshots.

zdb

zdb(1M) 						  System Administration Commands						   zdb(1M)

NAME

       zdb - ZFS debugger

SYNOPSIS

       zdb pool

DESCRIPTION

       The  zdb command is used by support engineers to diagnose failures and gather statistics. Since the ZFS file system is always consistent on
       disk and is self-repairing, zdb should only be run under the direction by a support engineer.

       If no arguments are specified, zdb, performs basic consistency checks on  the  pool  and  associated  datasets,	and  report  any  problems
       detected.

       Any options supported by this command are internal to Sun and subject to change at any time.

EXIT STATUS

       The following exit values are returned:

       0    The pool is consistent.

       1    An error was detected.

       2    Invalid command line options were specified.
