FYI, pmr number 90186.031.724. As for my system, it's a fresh install, so no update or migrate of filesystems.

There are at least two other sites reporting issues similar to what you are seeing. I have a ticket open with SUSE support and I'm told there is a duplicate ticket. What would be grand to know if someone has updated / Migrated from SLES12 SP-1 to SP-2 and have made good use of LVM A new install does work for us but an update / migrate does not," Dracut" seems to be the main suspect. Issues with RHEL 6.n to 7.n using Update is also open...

Good to know it shouldn't be normal behavior.

Install is executed with an ssh terminal. During reboot after in initial install I already see some messages regarding /usr but I have to investigate further to see when this issue actually happens. After initial install I have updated grub and Dracut to make sure disks are referred to as by-path. (refer to a discussion regarding UUID some time ago.) It might be it only appears only after I had updated grub/Dracut.

I just did an install to try to replicate this, and I see nothing like that happening. The only messages I see regarding /usr are these: Dec 14 13:00:22 linux dracut-initqueue[307]: inactive '/dev/system/usr' [3.00 GiB] inherit Dec 14 13:00:22 linux systemd[1]: Mounting /sysroot/usr... Dec 14 13:00:22 linux systemd[1]: Mounted /sysroot/usr. Clearly there's something quite different about my install versus yours. I think you're going to need to open a service request with your service provider.
