LVM snapshots will do that.
# Make a COW snapshot of the LVM logical volume /dev/tests/woody-master
lvcreate -s -l 1G -n test2626354 /dev/tests/woody-master
# Make the snapshot writable (They are read-only by default)
lvchange -prw /dev/tests/test2626354
# Mount the snapshot and test away
mount /dev/tests/test2626254 /mnt/test/2626254
The test2626254 is just a unique id, it can be anything.
