If looking at the block layer, would seeing the growth in size of a
snapshot volume work?

I know with Linux LVM2, the snapshot volume holds the original copy of a
changed block.  So, any block changed would show up in the snapshot
volume.  So, you then have some record (though I don't know how easy it
would be to get to) of blocks updated since the snapshot was taken.
