You already have one good resource.
I wrote this a while ago, and the preface may answer some questions
you have about the terminology used.
http://wiki.tldp.org/LVM-on-RAID
However the question you're asking is more or less borderline
off-topic for this mailing list. If the linked information is
insufficient I suggest using the Wikipedia article's links to learn
more.
