Or patched distro kernel, e.g. RHEL/CentOS has patched kernel already since 2007 see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=211516 Also recent upstream kernels have a little bit optimized way how to store snapshot exceptions in memory, which should help here too. See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=421451 There is no magic formula how many snapshots is possible, previously it was limited by one common mempool (see bug above), and for some reason it fails in cca ~32 snapshot - but it is no longer true (And increasing memory doesn't help with these old unpatched kernels.) With 6GB of memory you should be able create tens of snapshots at least. (But it will be just very slow - every snapshot is independent.)
