CentOS - Aug 2020 - Boot fails with lvm snapshot

Hi,

I have a strange problem with my centos7 file server. I have a large
data storage (75TB in RAID6, managed by lvm) and each night I create a
snapshot? (removing first the previous one). The snapshot is mounted
read-only so if a user remove a file accidentally he can restore it in
the same day. However, if this snapshot exists, reboot of the server
freeze at boot time and I must manually remove this snapshot. Why ?
There are no entry in /etc/fstab for this snapshot, it is a cron script?
that manage this snapshot and mount it.

It's a bug.? Update dracut.

Hi Gordon,

my dracut package is the latest available for Centos7 (this occur just
after my "yum update" and reboot). It is dracut-033-568.el7.x86_64 in
CentOS Linux release 7.8.2003 (Core)
I'm going to rebuild my initrd as suggested with the snapshot setup.

Thanks for the links.
