[PATCH] device-mapper snapshot: load metadata on creation
Move snapshot metadata loading to happen when the table is created instead of when the device is resumed. Writes to the origin device don't trigger exceptions until each snapshot table becomes active when resume() is called on each snapshot. If you're using lvm2, for this patch to work properly you should update to lvm2 version 2.02.01 or later and device-mapper version 1.02.02 or later.
