You can do it either way. You just need to use LVM to hide the original
C: and mode the clone the active C: volume.

This is expected. The only way that this will get better is if folks
report there experiences to the bugtracker.

People say lots of things without having any facts to back up their
opinions.

Because it is a hard problem. If you think you have a way to make it
easy, we'd all love to see you implement it.
