I think you were missing the term 'volume' in contrast with drive.

I'll leave it at that for now. Should check it to make sure, but Qubes uses Anaconda in the installer in a encrypted LVM group. Check this[1] link, I think they are answering the exact same question you are asking. Have not checked if the Qubes installer has exact same options (modify the volume group, create a new one), hope it helps.
