@Steve Thanks so much for your post. Based on this, would you recommend having a different partition just for boot, which would be a non-LVM partition? If this is the preferred way, how big should I make it? I've heard recommendations of 150MB, others say 250MB.

Also, should I repurpose my EFI partition and convert it into a /boot one (given that EFI is inside /boot)? Or do I still need both partitions? Does /boot have any special requirements? I know that the EFI partition had to be at the beginning of the disk and has to be FAT32, is the same true for /boot.

The reason why I still think this is a bug, it's because the default installation of Ubuntu 18.10 and 18.04, when selecting to use LVM, is not to create a /boot partition, but rather just an EFI one. So everybody using LVM is going to see this 30 seconds delay.

Instead of trying to fix the patch that introduced the problem. We should fix the default partitioning when using LVM on Ubuntu, maybe this bug should focus on that, so we don't see this problem on Ubuntu 19.04
