Uh. If backuping up a live database from a snapshot is not
trustworthy, either the snapshot facility is broken or the database is
broken (i.e., not crash-safe to begin with).
... or the database is configured in a risky way... But judging by
this thread, it seems dump with -L is indeed broken for some
people. Hence, I suggested dumping the database using the database's
backup tools and trying dump without -L
