LVM has the ability to create block device level snapshots, but it exacts
a performance hit. Just how much depends on the configuration of the
array and whether the snapshot slices are allocated from a different
drive. It works quite well with ext3, although you have to make sure
you mount the snapshots as ext2 read only.
