I was searching for documentation on how the options rd.lvm.lv, rd.luks.uuid, options work, but could not find anything relevant. The official GRUB documentation does not mention them.

After installing Fedora 20 I had the following in /etc/default/grub:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="rd.luks.uuid=luks-********* rd.lvm.lv=VolGroup01/root rd.lvm.lvVolGroup01/swap ..."

Why can multiple rd.lvm.lv options can occur? Can I use rd.lvm.uuid instead of rd.lvm.lv? Such questions come into mind.

The options in question seem to be defined in the kernel itself. This kernel documentation covers them:

rd.lvm.lv=

only activate the logical volumes with the given name. rd.lvm.lv can be specified multiple times on the kernel command line.

rd.luks=0

disable crypto LUKS detection

rd.luks.uuid=

only activate the LUKS partitions with the given UUID. Any "luks-" of the LUKS UUID is removed before comparing to . The comparisons also matches, if is only the beginning of the LUKS UUID, so you don’t have to specify the full UUID. This parameter can be specified multiple times.

rd.md=0

disable MD RAID detection

rd.md.imsm=0

disable MD RAID for imsm/isw raids, use DM RAID instead

rd.md.ddf=0

disable MD RAID for SNIA ddf raids, use DM RAID instead

rd.md.conf=0

ignore mdadm.conf included in initramfs

rd.md.waitclean=1

wait for any resync, recovery, or reshape activity to finish before continuing

rd.md.uuid=

only activate the raid sets with the given UUID. This parameter can be specified multiple times.

rd.lvm.uuid does not appear to be supported.
