      Description: The book says:

      In another terminal session, create the LVM snapshot:
      ...
      Important
      This snapshot needs to be large enough to hold the backup.

      The contents of this info box needs to be changed, as it's not at all correct. Instead, it should explain that the space allocated to the snapshot must be big enough to cover the changes that might happen after the database is unlocked, but before the backup is completed.
