I don't know LVM well, but if you use it to keep snapshots of your
volume that explain your problem. At worsed, ie: if every files have
changed between two runs, you will need twice the space on your
destination volume, because rsync by default (ie: without --inplace)
create first a temporary copy for a file, then rename it to the real
name of the file.

I suggest again to use the --inplace option of rsync.
