According to few sources (gentoo wiki, linuxconfig.org) on how fstab
should be: they have the LVM volumes labeled as ext4 (or whatever the 
actual fs is) but the mountpoint is not /dev/sdx#, rather it uses the
lvm dev mapping, or however you call it:

from http://linuxconfig.org/Linux_lvm_-_Logical_Volume_Manager:
> /dev/mynew_vg/vol01 /home/foobar/ ext3 yadda yadda

from http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/LVM#.2Fetc.2Ffstab:
>/dev/vg0/lvol1  /mnt/data  ext4  noatime  0 2

So whatever Andrea called their virtual group is what it must be set to.
If you go to the Archwiki, it uses 'VolGroup00' as the volume group.

Use vgdisplay to figure out the volume group name.

Note: I do not use LVM myself, so please keep that in mind. This is just
from my cursory research
