[Sheepdog] The 's' flag

Can someone explain the meaning of the 's' flag in vdi list?

At https://github.com/collie/sheepdog/wiki/Getting-Started it shows the 's'
flag applied to the snapshot, and not the original volume:

$ collie vdi list
  name        id    size    used  shared    creation time  object id
--------------------------------------------------------------------
  Bob          0  2.0 GB  1.6 GB  0.0 MB 2010-03-23 16:16      80000
  Alice        0  256 GB  0.0 MB  0.0 MB 2010-03-23 16:21      c0000
s Alice        1  256 GB  0.0 MB  0.0 MB 2010-03-23 16:16      40000

However, in my tests the 's' flag is applied to everything except the last
snapshot:

brian at x100:~$ collie vdi list
  name        id    size    used  shared    creation time   vdi id
------------------------------------------------------------------
s Test         1  2.0 GB  472 MB  0.0 MB 2011-08-16 21:00   ec9f05
s Test         2  2.0 GB  0.0 MB  472 MB 2011-08-16 22:44   ec9f06
s Test         3  2.0 GB   48 MB  424 MB 2011-08-16 22:46   ec9f07
s Test         4  2.0 GB   56 MB  416 MB 2011-08-16 22:46   ec9f08
s Test         5  2.0 GB   44 MB  428 MB 2011-08-16 23:04   ec9f09
  Test         6  2.0 GB   48 MB  424 MB 2011-08-16 23:05   ec9f0a

This suggest to me that 's' means 'shared'?

Regards,

Brian.
