Btrfs on top of LVM?

Has anyone here used btrfs on top of LVM? Are there any problems or
gotchas I should be aware of?

I want to use a logical volume to receive a btrfs subvolume and
incremental snapshots to test it out as a possible backup solution for
a smallish (500GB) filesystem that has a fair amount of changes in a
day.

Ideally I would use a separate disk, but right now I need to do this on
top of an LV if possible. Performance is not an issue. And no, this
will not be my only backup :)

Any advice and experiences would be welcome.

Petter
