which meaning did you say: in rootfs /etc/lvm/lvm.conf has "none" or in initrd
the value is "none" or both is "none"?

in your machine, the new cfg value may be saved in /etc/lvm/lvm.conf.rpmsave
(please check it), so the dracut will generate initrd with old value ("none").

if the value is "none" in both initrd & rootfs, you may have a different issue
(not bsc#1181432).

keep or revert is safe for your machine.
change to "none" value which is just revert one of recent lvm2 change.
you can get the lvm2 changelog by cmd:
```
rpm -qi lvm2-2.03.<your-current-version>.x86_64 --changelog | head -n 40
```

the "udev" value response to the change commit:
```
- lvm2 should use 'external_device_info_source="udev"' by default (bsc#1179691)
  - change external_device_info_source from none to udev
```

so I have another question: 
which tumbleweed version did you use before updating to 20210118 (c#0
mentioned).
what's lvm2 version do you use? (by: rpm -qa | grep lvm2)

```
[   25.926875] systemd[1]: Detected architecture x86.
```
It shows your arch is x86, not x86-64. what's your arch?
