2 GB its enough for any machine? 'Cause I have vm's with 20 GB until 100

I think you'll find that for snapshots the size specified is for the changes to the filesystem which are expected to occur during the lifetime of the snapshot.

So if you anticipate that, _while_ the snapshot is in use, its likely to accumulate 20G worth of *change*, the -L2G won't be enough.
