Use of UUID= for LVM volumes is unsupported because a UUID is not guaranteed
to be a unique identifier in the face of snapshotting.  Use the devmapper
path instead.

Title:
  cryptsetup does not understand UUID= in fstab and conf.d/resume

Status in cryptsetup package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in cryptsetup package in Debian:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: cryptsetup

  Hello,

  When UUID= syntax is used in /etc/fstab or  /etc/initramfs-
  tools/conf.d/resume, cryptsetup is not correctly set up in initrd. The
  file conf/conf.d/cryptroot in the initrd is lacking the appropriate
  entries and booting hangs with "Waiting for root filesystem..." .

  If /dev/mapper/[name] is used instead of UUID= in either file, the
  correct entries end up in conf/conf.d/cryptroot.
