Unity storage now supports cloning volume by taking its snapshot, it's more efficient than previous implementation. However, there is limitation on the count of thin clones inside one LUN family sharing the same base LUN. Every time the limitation reaches, a new volume will be cloned using `dd` copy. Then thin clone will be taken from the new dd-copied volume. DocImpact Implements: blueprint unity-fast-clone Change-Id: I5e4264ce9917e831e3efe27dc332641c9f94c07f
