Rsync should stop deleting as soon as it hits an error unless you are
using --force or --ignore-errors.
Also, set these in /etc/lvm/lvm.conf:
snapshot_autoextend_threshold = 80
snapshot_autoextend_percent = 20
That will auto-extend your snapshots so they don't fill up (unless of
course you run out of space).
