As Norberto pointed out, root file system can be inside the LVM. It's /boot that has to be outside. That said, my own unpleasant and unfortunate experience suggests that everything essential to boot/recover the system should be outside lvm since rescue mode is unable to mount lvm without manual intervention after booting.
