... -----------------------------------------On one AlmaLinux 9 VM I have for tests, the exact same udev rules are present for the initramfs, so it seems dracut-based distros still support partial VG activation (or at least some of them do).
I've done some initial tests to check if those partial VGs can actually be activated by dracut. The preliminary answer is yes, they can. But I intend to do further tests to check there are no issues with complex storage architectures that involve a combination of RAID, LVM, LUKS, etc.
If reopening this bug and allowing for initramfs-tools to use partial VG activation seems inappropriate, maybe dracut could be a suitable alternative for the users affected by this issue.
Best wishes.
