This is basically the same as the other full-snapshot-related issues. From your description, I gather that the snapshot becomes full and thus invalid, so automatic extension would solve the problem. I just need one thing before marking this a duplicate of bug 427298: are you writing to the snapshot, or to the origin? Because writing to origin should never fail due to full snapshots and that would be a different bug.
Let's mark this duplicate, we have a better BZ for the essentially same problem. Zhanglq, please report any additional info you may have in that bugzilla. Thanks. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 427298 ***
