Hello, I apologize in advance for asking this question, but I can't seem to find the information in documentation or anything online.

Short explanation:

- I have a CentOS 6.6 LiveCD that is dying after lots of file system thrash
- I use "dmsetup status" to check on when it's dying
- I don't know what the numbers in "dmsetup status" represent - they're not labeled

Can anyone answer this question or label the following fields for me and explain what they are?

[root@localhost ~]# dmsetup status 
live-osimg-min: 0 4194304 snapshot 1272/1272 16 
live-rw: 0 4194304 snapshot 7568/1048576 40

What are the <number>/<number>s?  What is the 2 digit number following them?

<sectors_allocated>/<total_sectors> <metadata_sectors>
My LiveCD dies when the 7568 number in this example gets to the (I assume gibabyte) 1048576 number.  Can I increase this base size?

​With​
 
​recent dracut versions, there are startup options, rd.live.overlay.size and rd.writable.fsimg​, that may be considered.

I apologize again for asking such a rudimentary question on this mailing list, but I am desperate.

Thanks in advance.
