Normally you setup an MD raid to run LVM on top of.
I normally do this:
/sda1 /sdb1 128M md0 raid1 ext2 /boot
/sda2 /sdb2 10G md1 raid1 ext3 /
/sda3 /sdb3 lots md2 raid1 PV for LVM
LVM then contains stuff like 20G /home, 2G swap, giant /data and
whatever else I need.
I could probably conbine / and /boot now that grub seems to support md
raid1.

EVMS is something else entirely and does not (last I checked) work with
the standard LVM in the kernel which is what the debian installer sets
up.

I run swap in an LVM logical volume.
