I recently moved some data on a box with limited space. I decided I should
limit the snapshots so that space would not become an issue. I just check
back a week later to find out the box is hitting the borderline. Doing I
quick check I realized that the snapshot_limit is not being respected.

Also wanted to verify 0 was not being mistaken for none.
