*EXTREMELY USEFUL* link, but not quite in manner intended <chuckle>.
After I got ~3/4 of the way thru it something began to look familiar.
Saw the content before as 
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logical_Volume_Manager_(Linux).
NOTE BENE en.m.wikipedia.org/... versus en.wikipedia.org/...
The "mobile" format of Wikipedia removes visual noise of the 
"desktop" format.
I found myself following more links in the "mobile" format and 
getting more out of each link.

Not an issue. I'll multi boot among versions and configurations 
of Debian. The medium term goal is understanding what I want from 
an OS ;)
