I just installed Fedora 31 on my laptop. I had created a volume group and logical volumes from the Anaconda installer itself. I had marked the checkbox for encrypting my fedora partition , and when booting I am asked my passphrase, so I thought everything was fine.
But when I am booting into a live environment and do an `lsblk` . This is my output:
```
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
sda 8:0 0 931.5G 0 disk
├─sda1 8:1 0 512M 0 part
├─sda2 8:2 0 512M 0 part
└─sda3 8:3 0 930.5G 0 part
├─vgfedora-root-real 253:0 0 700G 0 lvm
│ ├─vgfedora-root 253:1 0 700G 0 lvm
│ └─vgfedora-before_hibernate 253:3 0 700G 0 lvm
└─vgfedora-before_hibernate-cow 253:2 0 50G 0 lvm
└─vgfedora-before_hibernate 253:3 0 700G 0 lvm
```
1. **How on earth are my Volume Groups visible from the live environment?** I did not even open up with `cryptsetup open --type luks2 /dev/sda3` . What is going on here ?
2. As you can see **I have created a snapshot, is that even encrypted ?** Or is it only my root ? **I need everything to be encrypted even snapshots.**
3. I can even do a `vgchange -a y` and select all my logical volumes. **This really should not happen as it should not even be visible from the live environment** . Again what is going on ?
4. **How can I verify what is encrypted and what is not ?**
My understanding was that the LVM would not even be visible since it is under encryption. So how am I able to detect it from the live environment ?
Let me know if any other information is required.
Thanks.
