Having "/usr" managed by LVM is currently not supported. Any LVM udev rule is not applied as volume group detection seems to be handled before udev is ready. When using OpenRC as init system this is not an issue but using SystemD this results into 2 minute delay where SystemD is waiting for the logical volume to appear in /dev/disk/by-uuid. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Setup Gentoo using "/usr" from lvm 2. Use dracut to generate a initrd 3. reboot with init=/usr/lib/systemd/systemd Actual Results: [ 7.544734] localhost systemd[1]: systemd 206 running in system mode.

This bug seems to be related to bug #330651 as with OpenRC after issuing "vgchange --refresh" all nodes appear in /dev/disk/* Probably issuing this somewhere within dracut or systemd would make my system bootable. I am using Grub 2 on UEFI with handmade kernel and genkernel initrd and OpenRC normally related packages and versions installed on my pc: sys-boot/grub-2.00-r4:2 sys-kernel/genkernel-3.4.47:0 sys-boot/grub-2.00-r4:2 sys-kernel/dracut-031-r1:0 sys-apps/systemd-206-r3:0 sys-apps/openrc-0.11.8:0 sys-fs/lvm2-2.02.99-r1:0
If I don't misremember you need to use genkernel-next (with its "--udev" option) to properly work with lvm2
