            Bug ID: 215353
           Summary: VMWare LVM partitions not recognized, sees base disk,
                    fails to Boot
           Product: SCSI Drivers
           Version: 2.5
    Kernel Version: 5.4.126+
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
              Tree: Mainline
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P1
         Component: DC395X
          Assignee: scsi_drivers-dc395x@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
          Reporter: richr410@xxxxxxxxx
        Regression: No

Hello, 

VMWare LVM partitions are not recognized by the 5.4.126+ LT kernels; it sees
the base /dev/sda disk, but thats its, stalls, fails to Boot trying to access
"/dev/mapper/...."

Kernels 5.4.125 and prior DO WORK, but 5.4.126+ DO NOT.

I have been able to isolate the kernel failing to commit
"1e209effe36cbf0a939844bcf9defd3fe1e2f593" in LT kernel 5.4.126.

[And Yes the "rd.lvm.lv=" and VG/LV names match the grub line (ie. lvs -o
vg_name,lv_name)]

So commit "1e209effe36cbf0a939844bcf9defd3fe1e2f593" BREAKS kernel recognition
of VMWare LVM partitions (but yes kernel DOES see /dev/sda but thats it).

This is on ESX 6.7.

Thanks
