Hey guys. This seems like a really stupid problem I'm having given that I have installed countless times and now for whatever reason I'm stuck on this issue
I am following the dm-crypt wiki for a full system with encrypted boot found here https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dm … .28GRUB.29
Completely following the instructions, only deviating on things like names of partitions. I create LUKS partitions and the lvm logical partitions on top afterwards, and get to the point where I'm mounting the filesystems. All are mounted A-ok until I get to /dev/sda1 which is the EFI system partition. when I try to mount it at /mnt/boot/efi (after /mnt/boot had been mounted) I get
mount: unknown filesystem type 'crypto_LUKS'
I Have no idea why I am getting this error. I'm using the latest 2017.03 iso. I have installed using this particular setup, even down to the same commands and everything before (even with this iso).
lsblk currently gives me:
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
sda 8:0 0 200G 0 disk
├─sda1 8:1 0 512M 0 part
├─sda2 8:2 0 200M 0 part
│ └─cryptboot 254:4 0 198M 0 crypt /mnt/boot
└─sda3 8:3 0 237.8G 0 part
└─lvm 254:0 0 237.8G 0 crypt
├─vg1-swap 254:1 0 8G 0 lvm [SWAP]
├─vg1-root 254:2 0 20G 0 lvm /mnt
└─vg1-home 254:3 0 209.8G 0 lvm /mnt/home
...
It appears that mount doesn't like mounting straight onto the luks partition, which is odd because I've done this before.

Why is the ESP a crypto_LUKS container not a fat32 filesystem?

ESP must be FAT32: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/EF … _Partition

*facepalm* Thank you guys. I formatted $ESP as vfat -F32 and mounted it and it worked perfectly. Making as solved. Gonna go crawl back into my corner now.
