[Solved] LUKS LVM cannot be found on boot

Installed a LUKS encrypted system following the Arch Wiki (installed this method before and had good results). However, on reboot, after typing in the passphrase, I am given the following error and given a recovery shell:

ERROR: device '/dev/mapper/vg0-lv_root' not found. Skipping fsck.

My situation is very similar to the one in this thread, but after trying their solution, the problem persists. However, I am unsure to whether I correctly edited the UUID necessary, so I will post my files below.

On another note, I also checked to makesure my hooks were setup in mkinitcpio.conf, and I did add encrypt and lvm2.

Re: [Solved] LUKS LVM cannot be found on boot

From the recovery shell, can you manually open the LVs with vgchange and unlock the cryptdevice?

Re: [Solved] LUKS LVM cannot be found on boot

I attempted to unlock the lv for vgchange but it returned:

[rootfs]# cryptsetup open /dev/nvme0n1p3 lvm
Enter passphrase ...
Cannot use device /dev/nvme0n1p3 which is already in use (already mapped or mounted).

Re: [Solved] LUKS LVM cannot be found on boot

Is this LVM on LUKS? If the cryptdevice is unlocked you should be able to enable the logical volumes.

Re: [Solved] LUKS LVM cannot be found on boot

Yes, the LVM is on LUKS. My mistake, I had forgotten that I unlocked the LVM earlier in startup. Unfortunately, vg commands do not work in the recovery shell. I think the user in the thread I mentioned also had the same problem with vgchange.

That's not an error message. Please report the exact command you issued and the output.

Re: [Solved] LUKS LVM cannot be found on boot

You are supposed to pass options to the command.

If it still fails, try prepending lvm to the command: lvm vgchange -a y $groupname

Re: [Solved] LUKS LVM cannot be found on boot

[rootfs]# vgchange -ay vg0
sh: vgchange: not found
[rootfs]# lvm vgchange -ay vg0
sh: lvm: not found

On a side note, thank you for being patient with me. I'm not very experienced with LUKS LVM setup and the fat portion of my knowledge is shallow stuff from just reading wikis.

Re: [Solved] LUKS LVM cannot be found on boot

Alright. You'll need to chroot in and paste details of your setup (as text, not screenshots). Please include your boot loader/manager, mkinitcpio.conf and a blkid as text.

Re: [Solved] LUKS LVM cannot be found on boot

I'll borrow my friend's laptop tomorrow to ssh into my arch machine so I can copy paste in the config files. Currently my setup is just my phone and laptop (the one in question).

The live media includes a web browser? Sorry, I thought it was just the command line interface.

#     MODULES=(piix ide_disk reiserfs)
MODULES=()

# BINARIES
# This setting includes any additional binaries a given user may

# BINARIES are dependency parsed, so you may safely ignore libraries

# FILES
# This setting is similar to BINARIES above, however, files are added

# HOOKS
# This is the most important setting in this file.  The HOOKS control the
# modules and scripts added to the image, and what happens at boot time.
# Order is important, and it is recommended that you do not change the
# order in which HOOKS are added.  Run 'mkinitcpio -H <hook name>' for

# 'base' is _required_ unless you know precisely what you are doing.
# 'udev' is _required_ in order to automatically load modules

# Examples:
##   This setup specifies all modules in the MODULES setting above.
##   No raid, lvm2, or encrypted root is needed.
#    HOOKS=(base)
#
##   This setup will autodetect all modules for your system and should
##   work as a sane default
#    HOOKS=(base udev autodetect block filesystems)
#
##   This setup will generate a 'full' image which supports most systems.
##   No autodetection is done.
#    HOOKS=(base udev block filesystems)
#
##   This setup assembles a pata mdadm array with an encrypted root FS.
##   Note: See 'mkinitcpio -H mdadm' for more information on raid devices.

#
##   This setup loads an lvm2 volume group on a usb device.
#    HOOKS=(base udev block lvm2 filesystems)

Re: [Solved] LUKS LVM cannot be found on boot

Did you install the lvm2 package after pacstrap? I think this is one of the packages removed from the 'base' package, so you need to install it explicitly before exiting arch-chroot.

Never argue with an idiot, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.

Re: [Solved] LUKS LVM cannot be found on boot

Installing lvm2 separately fixed the problem with being unable to find the LUKS LVM thank you. However, I'm confused as the repo says that base still includes lvm2 here .

Re: [Solved] LUKS LVM cannot be found on boot

The new installation guide has "The base package does not include all tools from the live installation, so installing other packages may be necessary for a fully functional base system. In particular, consider installing: ... utilities for accessing RAID or LVM partitions", but the article for LVM doesn't have a section describing how to install LVM utilities because it used to be in base. I've been meaning to update the Wiki but I haven't had the time
