30  * We need to store a record of which parts of the origin have
31  * been copied to the snapshot device.  The snapshot code
32  * requires that we copy exception chunks to chunk aligned areas
33  * of the COW store.  It makes sense therefore, to store the
34  * metadata in chunk size blocks.
35  *
36  * There is no backward or forward compatibility implemented,
37  * snapshots with different disk versions than the kernel will
38  * not be usable.  It is expected that "lvcreate" will blank out
39  * the start of a fresh COW device before calling the snapshot
40  * constructor.
41  *
42  * The first chunk of the COW device just contains the header.
43  * After this there is a chunk filled with exception metadata,
44  * followed by as many exception chunks as can fit in the
45  * metadata areas.
46  *
47  * All on disk structures are in little-endian format.  The end
48  * of the exceptions info is indicated by an exception with a
49  * new_chunk of 0, which is invalid since it would point to the
50  * header chunk.
