sort of sits on top and does a lot more by the looks of it.  It is
touted to be a complete volume manager.  LVM, RAID or other lesser
volume management systems sit below as plugins.

I searched the ubuntu site and it looked like it exists (It mentions a
bug in booting EVMS with LVM).  I also had a look in the ubuntuforums
and there is a fair amount of info there.
