> Does this mean that dm mapper should set db_persist in the initramfs? Or the initramfs generator. AFAICS dracut already does this[1], but I don't immediately see an equivalent for initramfs-tools.
Are you using initramfs-tools? Does switching to dracut improve the situation? Mark [1] https://codesearch.debian.net/search?q=db_persist+package%3A%5CQdracut%5CE
