LVM ontop of LUKS using Gummiboot with a UEFI system

I'm trying to install LVM ontop of LUKS. But for some reason it continually drops me into a recovery shell because it says it can't find my boot or root partitions. I believe my issue has to do with either my boot loader entry or my fstab, but I can't seem to figure it out.

To elaborate on my configuration. I have 2 hard drives on my system. SDB is where i'm trying to setup this OS.

This was the tutorial i tried to follow:
http://www.brandonkester.com/tech/2014/ … -uefi.html

My /boot/loader/entries/arch.conf reads:

title ArchAlt
linux /vmlinuz-linux
initrd /initramfs-linux.img
option cryptdevice=UUID=91b6736c-1382-4c37-8b65-b5cc9077dd56:vol0 root=/dev/mapper/vol0-lvroot ro

Here's my fstab:

# /etc/fstab: static file system information
#
# <file system> <dir>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>
# /dev/mapper/vol0-lvroot

lsblk -f output:

Re: LVM ontop of LUKS using Gummiboot with a UEFI system

Typo in your conf file: it should read options...

And, why are you trying to mount your / to /mnt?

Also, you are better off with the community documentation on the wiki than random blog posts.
