I have set up a ZFS+postfix+dovecot mail server, and I need both postfix (postsuper -h ALL) and dovecot (¿?) to stop modifying the disk to create the snapshot to be saved.

You don't need to worry about this, it is all handled by the OS.

If you think you do need to worry about it, then you'll have to come up
