The one time I used the script, successfully, I gave a location in the
file system and the script generated a large file(which wasn't existing
before!) that was used as a block device itself, where it created lvm
volumes and partitions for files and swap.
I don't know if you can feed some options into the script to change that
behaviour and use an lvm volume instead of a location for a file, never
looked into it or tried to run it with --help.
