All the changes to the snapshot metadata have to be logged to the log disk
before writing anything to the disk. When a node X fails, some other node
that shares the log disk with X can replay the log of X. When all nodes in the
group fail, and some nodes come up, the first node that comes up can
check all the log disks that it shares with other nodes in that group and
replay the logs that are dirty.
