We (the build2 project) use it in our CI infrastructure for VM storage. For every build we make a snapshot of a VM, boot it, build, drop the snapshot, repeat. So we are talking about making/dropping snapshots every couple of minutes 24x7 for months without a reboot. We haven't had a single issue. |

When I was doing whole rebuilds of Debian, using e.g. 8 parallel builds of >18000 packages, it was creating and destroying a snapshot once every few seconds to minutes, at most 8 snapshots in existence at once. It got unbalanced and went write only every 36 hours. A clean brand new filesystem which never had more than 10% space utilisation and was typically around 1%.
