LVM is standard on Linux kernels for quite a while. As for Macbooks, I have no idea.
But keep in mind that if the database files are on a RAM disk, you can maintain the "live" files and the copies side by side. Since copying within a RAM disk is extremely fast, maybe a snapshot capability isn't necessary. The right solution depends on the size of the database, the amount of changes expected on each test cycle, the computer's RAM, and well, if the OS supports RAM disks (Linux does, of course).
