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.
