How does it perform without snapshot? I have seen a sluggish RAID array
when run out of battery.
Is there a reason to use that big chunks?
If the origin is seeing a lot of small dispersed writes using big chunk
may multiply it manyfold (actually worst case 128-times: every 4k write
generating 512k read from origin and then written to snapshot.)
