 ... kinda old ... yep ... as mentioned this box and its setup has grown
over the years.

I think it is rather straight but sure, maybe the syntax is outdated ->

Hmm, ok, I will check out how to change this.

But isn't that later on in the sequence of boooting? The problem is that
the mdadm-RAIDs aren't assembled and then systemd waits for these arrays
to have the PVs ready for the LVM-VGs and LVs ...

So I suspect the initramfs more ... and the assembly of the RAIDs.

Yes, thanks, I will return with more infos ...
