This doesn't work at scale. The IO performance with LVM is terrible. I lost a lot of money trying to implement this. Percona wrote Xtrabackup as a replacement for LVM.

The write performance with LVM is terrible.

LVM snapshots on read slaves or during times when you have sufficient write capacity work as advertised.
