6 This isn't the specific answer you're likely looking for, but the
7 obvious answers would be:
8 1. Booting without /usr mounted if any of cryptsetup/lvm2's libs are
9 located in /usr (not the case for lvm2 on my system at least).
10 2. Any initramfs creation tool that isn't smart enough to realize
11 what cryptsetup/lvm2 are linked to and copy those into the initramfs
12 (shouldn't be an issue in anything modern).
