LVM snapshots are intended to be temporary (AFAIK), such as doing a backup of a live db or similar while it is running. AFAIK, differences get kept in memory (possibly in another volume??). It is not (AFAIK) intended for long-term snapshots from where you would retreive files. But we haven't needed LVM snapshots yet, although we run LVM on all our critical servers.
