Thanks very much for your detailed test process, it is really informative.

8040687a00000000 is the meta data object (inode object), which contains
bitmap of which object is really allocated and other stuff to allow us
do snapshot and COW for a dedicated VDI.

Well, I too think it is a problem for sheepdog to run as a long term
system, and snapshot's creation and deletion is really most normal
process to take. We'll see to this issue soon.

Thanks,
