said Mike Bird via tde-users:
| LVM uses hard drive partitions. They can be of any size. An LVM
| partition can contain many filesystems. A single filesystem or even a
| single file can be bigger than a single LVM partition. (I am
| deliberately deferring LVM terminology until the last paragraph below.)
| But you can't normally share a single partition between both LVM and
| regular storage.

Thanks very much for the description. What I still don't know is what it
would do that I would want done. Which suggests to me that I probably
don't need it.
