  • The snapshot-merge target allows a snapshot to be merged back into the
    snapshot's origin device.

    One anticipated use of snapshot merging is the rollback of filesystems
    to back out problematic system upgrades.

    This patch adds snapshot-merge target management to both
    dm_snapshot_init() and dm_snapshot_exit(). As an initial place-holder,
    snapshot-merge is identical to the snapshot target. Documentation is
    provided.

  • I've recently added this documentation, Alasdair gave some corrections, and
    here are some further corrections on top of his work (partly style issue,
    partly a technical error due to different past experience, partly a note
    which I've added - i.e. transient snapshots are lighter).
