If you want people to understand your questions, stop talk about "one LVM"
as if it was a storage device (virtual or real). LVM is a software
package, and the objects you manipulate using it include
LV Logical Volume
PV Physical Volume
VG Volume Group
In addition, kpartx creates virtual block devices.
