Hold your horses !
We discussed it slightly different:

All LVs get mounted under /var when they're not "special".
You get a list of all available LVs in this folder: 
/proc/lvm/VGs/devil-linux/LVs/

We also have do be carefull, I'm pretty sure a lot of people would try 
to mount an LV e.g. under /some-mount-point and then complain it doesn't 
work. Of course it will not work, because they can't create the mount 
point on the CD....
