Hi,
Can i do dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mapper/dmo count=20 ? where dmo is
a dm snapshot origin created through dmsetup command. Instead of
/dev/zero i can write valid devices.
I could create the dmo through some lvm2 commands.
lvcreate -s
Is direct write
with 4k (page size values ) allowed when it is mapped to 2 block
devices in linear mode ?

I'm seeing OOM followed by reboot of host machine.
Does this mean this device cannot to exported to containers for writing ?
The snapshot driver requires 32 bytes of memory for one chunk (the chunk
size is selected with the "-c" switch to lvcreate). You should set system
memory according to that.

Are origin devices readonly ?
When i do dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mapper/ff count=10, it kills all the
process says OOM.
How do you go about debugging this ? I'm running 4.7.0-rc7+ .

Hi
Maybe you should have started with reading documenation for snapshot target ?
linux/Documentation/device-mapper/snapshot.txt
If you don't like to read much doc - I'd highly recommend to stay at 'lvm2'
command level and create snapshot via 'lvcreate -s'
