NO, NO, NO. There is still only *one* physical copy of the data
after creating a snapshot. You have simply created a "branch point"
which can now diverge as each branch is written to.
Then why was it suggested that I should zero my new customer LVs upon
creation? Please remember that my snapshots will not be written to
However the origin will be written to as it will be in use...
