According to list of your devices, it is activated as read/write. (Check it from the bottom to up - use lsblk to display volume stack and then "dmsetup info", "cryptsetup status <dev>", lvs/lvdisplay, mount should verify that all layers are activated properly.) Anyway, it is distro specific how to properly update initramfs to activate volume on boot... (On Debian this works quite nice so I see no reason Ubuntu should differ here, but really, this is not Ubuntu support forum.) Check /etc/fstab and /etc/crypttab (crypt device must be there). Also check access rights to device nodes and directory where are you mounting fs. BTW you can probably change activated name in /etc/crypttab. > Is the encryption method I used best practice? ... >>> When I do this over I will run cryptsetup benchmark first to see which >>> iteration and algorithm works best for my system. Be sure you understand consequences of switching parameters (it is not only about speed). It is better to stick with defaults if you are not sure.
