Hello,

I am trying to recover a test image (10GB) which I have deleted. The file
is present in various of my snapshots, and I do not realize how to recover
it:

. by cpdup from a snapshot to their directory?
. by simply cp from a snapshot to their directory?
. by undo -o test.img test.img@@0xlast_tid?

Trying a hammer history to see when it became alive and when it died, I got

rtcprime# hammer history test.img
test.img        0000000106d2f8a2 clean {
    0000000106d38630 11-May-2012 00:37:12
    000000010f0f94d0 26-May-2012 01:28:08
}

from inside a snap. And from the same snap, I got

rtcprime# undo -ia test.img
test.img: ITERATE ENTIRE HISTORY
        0x0000000106d38610 11-May-2012 00:37:10 file-deleted
        0x0000000106d38630 11-May-2012 00:37:12

this is suposed to be that way? Am I doing some confusion, or is it wrong?
Both the commands must present the same TIDs?

When I issued another undo, with verbose option:

rtcprime# undo -vai test.img
test.img: ITERATE ENTIRE HISTORY
