For some time after I issue a snapshot delete, the space in the volume
is freed.  It starts to free quite fast and then the progress slows and
speeds up again.

Given that the return from the snapshot delete command is immediate and
the space is freed asynchronously, how can I determine absolutely that
the snapshot has been entirely removed and the space freeing operation
is complete?

Cheers,
b.
