And success. Server is now up with LVMcache and boots nicely.<br>
Very educational!<br>

Neat! There are a few problems with having your / on LVM, and this is one of them, but as you found, it's possible to make it all work. I will try this with /home as the cached LV, because my / is on a regular partition on the SSD instead of on an LV. And then see what bonnie++ or a similar benchmark[0] reports for /home before and after the cacheing change.<br>
