37  * metadata in chunk size blocks.
38  *
39  * There is no backward or forward compatibility implemented,
40  * snapshots with different disk versions than the kernel will
41  * not be usable.  It is expected that "lvcreate" will blank out
42  * the start of a fresh COW device before calling the snapshot
43  * constructor.
44  *
45  * The first chunk of the COW device just contains the header.
46  * After this there is a chunk filled with exception metadata,
47  * followed by as many exception chunks as can fit in the
48  * metadata areas.
49  *
50  * All on disk structures are in little-endian format.  The end
51  * of the exceptions info is indicated by an exception with a
52  * new_chunk of 0, which is invalid since it would point to the
53  * header chunk.
