A V-Tree can have up to 128 members of which 126 are usable descendants, or snapshots. The other two members consist of the root volume and a system reserved volume used when overwriting a member of the V-Tree with the contents of another member. The reserved V-Tree member is not visible in the system, but it consumes from the total possible snapshot count.
