Sorry, I must have missed that. Thanks!

Really? So is /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-top/mdadm
(from the mdadm package) wrong, or something else buggy or broken by
design? I also experienced the need for udevsettle when booting from
LVM over partitioned multipath devices. I thought it was the kpartx
invocation which I had to wait for before the lvm2 script. I'd be
grateful for some advice on how to handle such cases properly.
