Hi Sebastian,
I'm not familiar with Ubuntu so the only thing I can help you with is
trying to explain what went (probably) wrong.
This is the situation in the terminal:
sog@sog-workstation:~$ sudo cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sdb5 encrypted
Enter passphrase for /dev/sdb5:
sog@sog-workstation:~$ sudo mkdir /media/encrypted
sog@sog-workstation:~$ sudo mount /dev/mapper/encrypted /media/encrypted
mount: unknown filesystem type 'LVM2_member'
This seems like you're about to mount lvm2 PV (VG member) instead of LV
with actual filesystem residing in.
You should always try to mount LVM2 LV like follows:
mount /dev/<your_vg_name>/<your_lv_name> /mnt/point
Could you paste here 'lsblk' output here so we have better picture about
your device stack?
sog@sog-workstation:~$ sudo vgscan --mknodes
Reading all physical volumes. This may take a while...
Found volume group "it-vg" using metadata type lvm2
Found volume group "it-vg" using metadata type lvm2
sog@sog-workstation:~$ sudo vgchange -ay
device-mapper: create ioctl on it--vg-root failed: Device or resource busy
device-mapper: create ioctl on it--vg-swap_1 failed: Device or resource busy
0 logical volume(s) in volume group "it-vg" now active
2 logical volume(s) in volume group "it-vg" now active
Seems like an activation issue. We can't help you more without -vvvv
debug ouput. (vgchane -ay -vvvv). Also 'dmsetup table' and 'dmsetup
info' commands output would help after failure in any activation command.
Regards
Ondrej
