Rather scant but better than nothing.  

Honestly I'd expect a text billing itself as in the "sysadmin" category
to have an entire chapter (at least) relating to LVM.  Storage
management is one of the big buggers of system administration, a topic
filled with subtlety and all manner of grues waiting for the hapless
adventurer to step a bit to near the shadows.
