Probably a web like LinkedIn would be a better place to ask that kind of vague, generic question.
Some of the minimum, basic and must-have topics of a RHEL interview are: LVM, Kernel Tunning, Patching, System daemons, Troubleshooting, Shell Scripting, etc.
Truth is you won't find a "golden list" of linux interview questions... and -personally- I'd rather have an interviewee answer what he really knows and understands than memorizing LVM commands.
It also depends on the interviewer... some of them will ask you crazy stuff like how how do you calculate the number of cows that live in Russia or what's the 134th digit of Pi.

PVCK(8) System Manager's Manual PVCK(8)
NAME
pvck - check physical volume metadata
SYNOPSIS
pvck [-d|--debug] [-h|--help] [-v|--verbose] [--labelsector] PhysicalVolume [PhysicalVolume...]
DESCRIPTION
pvck checks physical volume LVM metadata for consistency.
OPTIONS
See lvm for common options.
--labelsector sector
By default, 4 sectors of PhysicalVolume are scanned for an LVM label, starting at sector 0. This parameter allows you to specify a
different starting sector for the scan and is useful for recovery situations. For example, suppose the partition table is corrupted
or lost on /dev/sda, but you suspect there was an LVM partition at approximately 100 MB. This area of the disk may be scanned by
using the --labelsector parameter with a value of 204800 (100 * 1024 * 1024 / 512 = 204800):
pvck --labelsector 204800 /dev/sda
Note that a script can be used with --labelsector to automate the process of finding LVM labels.
