Great! Waiting for patches then. :D

I could provide some more information when needed:

* This happens with read only snapshots only.
* I could reproduce with commit eaa23d32732c9bc3dd4f948781b5764cf21d84ba
  (wiping: add support for blkid wiping), so it was introduced there or
  before.

Should I investigate further or wait for something to test from you?
