I can confirm this bug:
Grub 2.12-9 (debian trixie)
lvm raid1 + lvm cache
Tested with lvm cachepool and lvm cachevol, when a lvm present, grub cannot read the root lv (even if this lv is not cached). Uncaching the lvs fix the issue.

The problem is specific to this combination. Linear LVM with caching works.

I have a LV for boot and one for root. Only the one for root has LVM caching with SSD configured.

Running grib2-config with this setup results in


error: ../grub-core/disk/diskfilter.c:533:invalid segment.
error: ../grub-core/disk/diskfilter.c:533:invalid segment.
error: ../grub-core/disk/diskfilter.c:533:invalid segment.
/usr/sbin/grub2-probe: error: ../grub-core/kern/disk.c:236:disk `lvmid/xxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxx/xxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxx' not found.
