Ah that's a shame. If you'd had a bootable USB stick or some pre-boot environment to use, you probably could have rolled back from a snapshot. At least, that's my understanding of the theory.

Your experience has definitely not discouraged me from wanting to ZFS my root partitions though. If only to provide the potential / theoretical ability to roll back a snapshot if necessary!

To be honest, it was laziness on my part, I could have probably figured it out and fixed it. The snapshot ability was incredibly nice, don't get me wrong. I really liked it on my system. I may switch back in the near future.

I can post my "script" when I get home if you want to try it. I use script very liberally, it was my notes of the commands I used in order in order to get ZFS/dmcrypt working.
