What is this for?
If the snapshot is invalid what's the point in keeping it?

SolutionIt's not that the snapshot is useless, it's a question of 'do we allow snapshots to possibly be useless'?
The virtual volume policy choices are:
- stale_ss -- Specifies that invalid snapshot volumes are permitted. Failure to update snapshot data does not affect the write to the base volume, but the snapshot is considered invalid. This is the default policy setting.
- no_stale_ss -- Specifies that invalid snapshot volumes are not permitted. Failure to update a snapshot is considered a failure to write to the base volume.
You've run out of storage: Do you accept that you may have junk snapshots, or is having valid snapshots critical and it would be preferable for the application to halt?

Re: Allow stale snapshots
It's in Policies & Geometry of Edit Virtual Volume after you have ticked Show Advanced Options.
