I took a look at this but I have no issue with systemd/LVM.
The problem is systemd never reached the step where it mounts FS's.
It hangs before and timedouts asking for root password or ctrl-D.

No, no backup  But I am sure there is a problem with systemd.
The last version installed on my system is not able to start it
anymore.
And I can reproduce this.

Do you want the output of <journalctl -xb> ?  Or other logs ?
