Title:
  UUID base RESUME always wait 5 seconds for activating LVM swap

Status in initramfs-tools package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Ubuntu 16.04 with LVM have delay around LVM mount.

    $ dmesg

  LVM partition will be activated by scripts/local-top/lvm2 in initrd.
  But scripts/local-top/lvm2 does not take care of resume variable which
  is set from UUID base RESUME.

    $ cat /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-top/lvm2
    <snip>
    activate() {
    <snip>
      /dev/mapper/*)
      <snip>
    }

    activate "$ROOT"
    activate "$resume"
    <snip>

  And then, scripts/local-premount/resume in initrd will always wait 5
  seconds for activating LVM swap.
  After mounting root filesystem, systemd will activate LVM swap.

    $ cat /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-premount/resume
    <snip>
    SWAPTYPE=$(wait-for-root "${resume}" ${RESUMEDELAY:-5})
    <snip>

  RESUME is defined at /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume which is
  created by plugininstall.py.
  So plugininstall.py needs to support non-UUID base RESUME,
  e.g. RESUME=/dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-swap_1.

    $ sudo su -c 'echo RESUME=/dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-swap_1 \
    > /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume'
    $ sudo update-initramfs -u && sudo reboot

    $ dmesg # after boot
