Hot Copies are both readable and writable.  When you write to the Hot Copy as your writes are made changed blocks must be stored and space is consumed on your changed blocks storage device.  If you prefer read-only snapshots you can specify your Hot Copy be mounted with read-only with the *\-o* command line option.

h3. LIMITS

The Hot Copy device driver is currently limited to only one Hot Copy snapshot per block device active at a time.  The Hot Copy device driver is limited to a total of 16 active Hot Copies at once for the running kernel.
