[dm-devel] [PATCH 2 of 2] DM Snapshot: check if chunk size not specified

Patch name: dm-snapshot-check-if-chunk-size-not-specified.patch

If we are creating snapshot with memory-stored exception store, fail if
the user didn't specify chunk size. Zero chunk size would probably crash
a lot of places in the rest of snapshot code.
