I'm not saying CephFS snapshots are 100% stable, but for certain
use-cases they can be.

Try to avoid:

- Multiple CephFS in same cluster
- Snapshot the root (/)
- Having a lot of snapshots

Then you could use the cephfs recursive statistics to figure out which
directories have changed and sync their data to another cluster.

But there are some caveats, but it can work though!
