The LVM stuff happens *below* the file system: you first add physical volumes (PV) to a volume group (think a "pool"). From that you "cut out" logical volumes (LV), which are just bunches of blocks which show themselves to the OS as "block devices" (/dev/mapper/foo, typically). On top of that you can put a file system (as you can on any "bunch of blocks", i.e. a block device or file). Perhaps having a mental model the docs make more sense. Cheers -- t
