I'll give you my confs in my LVM2 virtual machine; my normal machines
don't use LVM2, so I don't think they'll help in any way.

Also, if my normal machines are lagging on updates, the virtual ones
are even more behind: my LVM vm has systemd 204!

I'm removing any comments:

/etc/default/grub.conf:

GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR="Gentoo"
GRUB_DEFAULT=0
GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0
GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true
GRUB_TIMEOUT=10
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="init=/usr/lib/systemd/systemd quiet nosplash"
GRUB_PRELOAD_MODULES="lvm mdraid1x"

Notice: no root, no real_root, nothing.

/etc/dracut.conf:

add_dracutmodules+="crypt lvm mdraid systemd"
add_drivers+="autofs4 ipv6 dm-crypt aes sha256"
fscks="umount mount /sbin/fsck* e2fsck"

/etc/fstab:

LABEL=Root / ext4 acl,noatime 0 1
LABEL=User /usr ext4 acl,noatime 0 2
LABEL=Boot /boot ext2 acl,noatime 0 2
LABEL=Home /home ext4 acl,noatime 0 2
/dev/mapper/swap none swap sw 0 0
shm /dev/shm tmpfs nodev,nosuid,noexec 0 0
tmpfs /tmp tmpfs defaults,nosuid,size=100% 0 0

/etc/crypttab:

home /dev/vg/vol5
swap /dev/vg/vol2 /dev/urandom swap

I didn't touched /etc/lvm/lvm.conf, nor /etc/mdadm.conf.

My drive topology:

Do you want to see any other config?

Let me try to update this test VM to see if I can hit the same issue as you.

Regards.
