Input/output Error When Listing Snapshots

When listing the contents of the .snapshots folder on Linux, the system returns an "Input/output error."

Cause: Snapshots of the file system are listed in the .snapshots folder as directory names. If the snapshot name contains characters that result in an invalid file name (for example, "/" ), Linux cannot list them and returns "Input/output error" instead.

Workaround: Avoid using special characters in snapshot names when you create them. Future releases will prevent these characters from being used in snapshot names.
