I would recommend spending some time reading up on filesystems and LVM,
then.  They're too useful to ignore.  While I've seen next to nobody use
Windows "dynamic disks", for example (not that it bothers me---Linux
supports accessing them just fine), LVM is an extremely useful toolset
and not that hard to learn.  There are a handful of utilities that you
have to learn how to use, but they're very well organized and just do
little things (for example, the utilities starting with pv* are physical
volume utilities, the utilities starting with vg* are the volume group
utilities, the utilities starting with lv* are logical volume
utillities, etc.).  They're named after what they do, and the man pages
are useful.
