Write dmeventd plugin - similar as you can find in upstream git source tree.


BTW - what's is the point to delete it 90% and delete it when it's invalid ?

If you don't need the snapshot you should remove it instantly - since it's 
impact system performance.

And if you need it - it's probably more useful to extend the snapshot.
