The problem was not in initramfs (dracut), but on the fact that /dev/sda2 partition(PV), after I resized it, somehow got 2 partition table signatures.
One was set as a "dos" partition with an offset "0x1fe" and second set as "LVM_member" with an offset "0x8e".
This confused blkid in initramfs, during the initial boot stage, thinking that /dev/sda2 is *not* an LVM_member but rather a simple "dos" partition, hence refused to activate centos/root and centos/swap LVs which were required to boot the machine to the O/S.
<snip> Glad you solved it. Btw, in the future, if you have a problem that you finally get resolved, after much difficulty, and go to post the solution, add [SOLVED] to the subject line. Gets people's attention.
