Hi fauno,
provided the driver was unlocked successfully it seems unrelated to
cryptsetup/LUKS to me. Could we move the discussion to lvm mail list?

Hi, maybe I'm too shocked but I couldn't find anything on this issue :)
I have a fully encrypted HD using the LVM on LUKS method from
ArchWiki[^0], with the LUKS header and key file on an external device.
Today I started having some disk failures (root remounted ro, xfs
partition giving errors), and after I decided to reboot to run fsck, I
can't find anything.
Could you paste here output of pvscan -vvvv --cache
/dev/mapper/insert_the_unlocked_device_name? Together with your
/etc/lvm/lvm.conf file? If it's a device with rootfs we're talking about
you will most probably have to extract /etc/lvm/lvm.conf file from
initramfs image.
Well, generally, if disk sectors accommodating PV header are damaged,
lvm2 won't recognise the device...
When the encrypted partition is opened, I don't see any errors, not even
on dmesg, but LVM can't find any volume. They're just missing.
Is there anything I can do? Thanks!
FWIW I had the same issue with another HD a few months back, though it
didn't had physical errors. It didn't had anything important so I
wasn't worried.
Ok, try same approach as above for this drive.
Regards
Ondrej
