Although the format /dev/[vg_name]/[lv_name] format is easier to read when you got plenty of VGs (compared to /dev/mapper/[vg_name]-[lv_name]), it won’t work at boot.

unlocking crypto devices – even your root can be an encrypted filesystem
assembling/altering mdadm RAID arrays
checking the root filesystem in read-write mode, [...]
I was unable to find a place where all these things are collected, so I have decided I will write it down here.
