Sure, my disk is a SSD:

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
   /dev/sda1              63       80324       40131   de  Dell Utility
   /dev/sda2   *       81920     1622015      770048    7  HPFS/NTFS/exFAT
   /dev/sda3         1622016   124499967    61438976    7  HPFS/NTFS/exFAT
   /dev/sda4       124502016   500105215   187801600    5  Extended
   /dev/sda5       124506112   125547974      520931+  83  Linux
   /dev/sda6       125550592   500103449   187276429   8e  Linux LVM


/dev/sda5 = /boot

/dev/sda6 = the whole lvm

[root at localhost foo]# lvs
  LV    VG          Attr      LSize   Pool Origin Data%  Move Log Copy% Convert
    crypt sagittarius -wi-ao--- 141,01g                                           
    root  sagittarius -wi-ao---  12,77g                                           
    swap  sagittarius -wi-ao---   3,91g                                           
    tmp   sagittarius -wi-ao---   3,00g                                           
    var   sagittarius -wi-ao---   1,95g

the "crypt" lv is my /home:

/dev/mapper/crypt_sagittarius_crypt on /home type ext4 (rw,noatime,commit=600,data=ordered)

Don't hesitate if you need more output, especially device and dm number.

I can produce debug output of dracut too if necessary.

Regards.
