Why are there two LVM2 partitions?
That is not a usual setup.
Some history. Installed fedora server on the nvme. Boot partition and
single lvm partition. Ran out of space in the lvm partition. Created a
partition from the free space on the nvme and used pvcreate to designate
it as a physical volume. Appended it to the original lvm for a single
contiguous space.
from another installation that sees the drive

Normally you have 1 LVM partition and then create LV's inside it.
This is an example of what I'd expect a normal setup to be.
