I should have said "ls -l". I'm just curious what that is. Can you do "file /.snapshots/alpha.0" and if it's a directory, do "ls -la /.snapshots/alpha.0""?

To find out how it's getting mounted, do "mount | grep snapshot" and "cat /etc/fstab". (You don't need to include the whole thing, just see if there's a relevant line in there.)

Also, what about "lsof /.snapshots"?

# lsof /.snapshots
lsof: WARNING: can't stat() fuse.gvfsd-fuse file system /run/user/65536/
gvfs

	It says "incomplete"; but the lines above are its whole output.

Yes, you can ignore that warning.

It appears like you took a large hard drive and set it up for some
backup system, but I have no idea what one would work like that.

	I don't know what the friend did. The whole PC is now a backup; so
I'd have no hesitation to DBAN it, install F32, and recopy data from my
present #1 machine. I did think it seemed to have surprisingly little
storage when I did that df -h; but if I understand better now, that 1.7T
is real -- and, I hope, available for other uses. Is that so? Maybe I
don't need to wipe it?

If there's nothing important on the computer or the hard drive, I would suggest reinstalling it. You can use the SSD for the root filesystem and put /home on the big drive.
