I found this:

=============
It is worth noting that if you are using InnoDB, and both the log and datafiles are backup-able (is that a word?) in a single snapshot by LVM, then you *don't* need to lock the tables first.

Since LVM takes a consistent snapshot, InnoDB will be able to recover, just as if there was a system crash, from the LVM backup when restored. It even tells you the binary log coordinates to recover from during the crash recovery for replaying the binary logs.
=============

If we have a battery-backed-up RAID controller, it would write the unwritten data at boot, before (or in the early process of) booting the OS, so it would be fine right?
