When regular lvols are created, their size is rounded up to the next
cluster boundary. This is not acceptable for esnap clones as this means
that the clone may be silently grown larger than external snapshot. This
can cause a variety of problems for the consumer of an esnap clone lvol.
While the better long-term solution is to allow lvol sizes to fall on
any block boundary, the implementation of that needs to be suprisingly
complex to support creation and deletion of snapshots and clones of
esnap clones, inflation, and backward compatibility.
For now, it is best to put in a restriction on the esnap clone size
during creation so as to not hit problems long after creation. Since
lvols are generally expected to be large relative to the cluster size,
it is somewhat unlikely that this restriction will be a significant
limitation.
