I think you should remove the line:

sleep 15

It doesnt' anything useful, It just delay the restart, so during 15 seconds
the request will end been registered in the old log file

mv /mnt/vg0-lv0/access.log /mnt/vg0-lv0/access.log.OLD
sudo kill -USR1 `cat /var/run/nginx.pid`
sleep 2
head -n 5 /mnt/vg0-lv0/access.log

If I would do this in a interactive way, I'd prefer

mv /mnt/vg0-lv0/access.log /mnt/vg0-lv0/access.log.OLD
sudo kill -USR1 `cat /var/run/nginx.pid`
sleep 2
tail -f /mnt/vg0-lv0/access.log

because I see the log request in real time
