I would like to be able to run thin_delta. I am able to run thin_dump and thin_ls successfully, however I don't understand how to get the numeric snapshot identifiers referred to on the man page.

--thin1, --snap1 {natural}
  The numeric identifier for the first thin volume to diff.

I would like to be able to do the equivalent of:

dmsetup message /dev/mapper/volg-volg--thinpool-tpool 0 reserve_metadata_snap

# Works, but what do 1 and 2 refer to?
thin_delta --verbose -m --snap1 1 --snap2 2 /dev/mapper/volg-volg--thinpool_tmeta

# Looks nice but doesn't work
thin_delta  -m --snap1 volg/thin_volume_snap2 --snap2 volg/thin_volume_snap3 /dev/mapper/volg-volg--thinpool_tmeta

dmsetup message /dev/mapper/volg-volg--thinpool-tpool 0 release_metadata_snap

The output from LVS is below.
