The systemd develeopers generally don't really know LVM. LVM does
weird things with udev rules, and we cannot really help with that I
fear. Please ask the LVM folks for help.

In general much of the problems with LVM stem from the fact that they
their udev support is optional, and you need to enable it both in the
initrd and the host to work correctly.

But anyway, I am sorry, but I doubt many people on systemd-devel will
be able to help you.

Sorry,

Lennart
