flush tables with read lock;
flush logs;
unlock tables;

All above are the exact SQL statements you will use. It locks all the tables on the server, flushes the logs, at this poit you should now take your snapshot, then the last statement unlocks all your tables.

Here is the first hit I found on Google for using LVM. It is not exactly what you want but it will get you started.
