Hello everyone,
I can't manage to get thinly provisioned LVM setup to work.
The problem is: I can't get to the decryption prompt to enter a password
to decrypt root filesystem. It just hangs there.
My Setup:
VG with 3 PVs: 1 SSD, 1 HDD, 1 NVMe SSD
Thin pool in this VG with 2 LVs (for / and /var mountpoints)
both partitions are encrypted using LUKS
I've spent quite a lot of time trying many possible solutions. The worst
thing is: sometimes it seems to work flawlessly for several boots. These
moments convince me every time, that the previous solution I tried was
the correct one and I can happily go on with my life. That is not the
case. Sometimes it doesn't work the first 3 times (after reboot) and
then suddenly it does (possibly after some tweaking with kernel
parameters). I can't recognize any pattern. I can also reboot 3 times
without doing anything and the 4th time it works.
Unfortunately I'm not a pro in this area and I don't know any way to
debug it.
I would really appreciate the help. I would also gladly provide any
additional information or command output. Following files might be helpful:
1. dmesg output from initramfs prompt (with Call Trace)

2. journal output during shutdown (not cleanly unmounted stuff)
https://pastebin.com/2exWgbze
3. lsblk output
https://pastebin.com/gHttQZH2
4. grepped lsinitramfs with some relevant files

5. lvs with devices

Best regards,
