Assuming you have checked projects like 'snapper' ?

We do not advice/support any user to use device on top of filesystem on top
another device - this is only good as a 'toy' - never for anything serious -
it has numerous troubles and the noticeable slower performance is
one the easy one...
> perhaps a snapshot of the origin can be a new master? if that is ok, which I think is ok, than that will work without a move
With thin-snapshot - each snapshot as just another 'thin' device - so it
doesn't really matter what is origin.
You can easily chain snapshot over snapshot over snapshot....
