You misunderstood it completely, and you're looking at the wrong page; the
correct page is
<http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-4-Manual/sysadmin-guide/s1-lvm2-intro-whatis.html>
.  That's because Fedora uses LVM2.  Or try the README that comes with
lvm2.  There's also a Wikipedia article on LVM.
