I have tried following different guides on this but none seem to do exactly what I am trying so I had to work with different parts from different guides.
Using the following I made it so Ubuntu would not boot, although I was able to remedy this by booting into Ubutnu recovery, dropping to a root shell, and putting fstab back as it was: HOWTO: Automatically unlock LUKS encrypted drives with a keyfile
When I started I had just set up LUKS with LVM. I was able to mount the main volume hdd1 by clicking on it from the launcher in Ubuntu and entering my password, but I need to set it up to mount on boot.
Even after the change I made in fstab - undoing what the guide recommended - now when I boot a volume is mounted of 973GB although I cannot write to it. Apart from that I am not sure if it is otherwise working as it should, or if say for instance it is left decrypted all of the time.
Can you please look through the commands from my bash history and tell me anything I need to undo, the correct commands to do this, and any extra commands I need to enter to achieve what I am after, physical volume sda1 decrypted on boot, and the logical volumes swap and hdd1 automatically mounted, one password input on boot preferred, so I do not have to enter one to login and another to decrypt. This is all on a completely separate drive to my / and /home partitions.
If relevant one of the commands used during LUKS and LVM setup was:
pvcreate /dev/mapper enc-pv
The logical volumes:
