I don't follow. If you have one master copy and 10 snapshots, and you
change the metadata on the master copy, why would it generate more metadata
(than when having a single snapshot)? All those snapshots can share the
same metadata block (provided the file wasn't changed in the meantime) and
just the master copy would get a new metadata block. So it should be the
same amount of newly written blocks, regardless of how many snapshots you
have. What am I missing?
