Great! Thanks.

There is no protection against re-adding a block device to the snapshot.
I'll take care of it.

And small update. I have made a correction to the bio allocation algorithm
for saving and loading chunks. Please, see attach and commit.

But cases of large chunks or very large disks have not yet been covered
by tests, yet. 

I also had concerns that the snapshot writing algorithm was not working
correctly. But the concerns were in vain. The new test is working.
