It will automount LV's if you do automount ... for example ... /mnt/dm-0 was my root filesystem when I booted up and vgdisplay and lvdisplay show all the items there. you can unmount and remount other ways if you want. I also had sda1 as my boot partition ... that showed up as /mnt/sda1 ... it was not mounted as /mnt/dm-0/boot ... so if you want to mount items like that, you will have to do it manually.
