My issue wasn't so much with how to create the snapshot but how to simultaneously mount the snapshot with the live filesystem. I saw a big thread about having to uncomment from lvm.c, did that but then got unresolved symbols... It seemed as if there were some issues and a large discussion related to doing this with XFS.
