Yes, copy-on-write is lazy copying, child process copy the page when try to write it. So basically, after a fork, almost child's memory is shared with parent. However, before any of the processes made, every child process still have some private memory, modified from parent's or new allocating. That means even without any action the forked child process has some private memory. We can verify it with pmap -XX PID or cat /proc/PID/smap.
