Is it possible that you'd need to mount sda1, then unlock it? Not sure if that's how LVM encryption works

[wind dragon]

ok
vgchange -an matrix

[wind dragon]

no

lvm has no encryption

theyre using lvm on top of luks

[tawny hamlet]

Ah, all right

[wind dragon]

sorry i mean vgchange -ay matrix

[zealous snow]

0 logical volumes in volume group “matrix” now active

Yes

I rember -ay

[wind dragon]

-ay

[wind dragon]

after that show me lsblk again

[wind dragon]

mount /dev/matrix/rootvol /mnt

[zealous snow]

I tried that, right under lsblk

[wind dragon]

mount /dev/mapper/matrix-rootvol /mnt

[zealous snow]

Boom

[wind dragon]

nope
you wrote rootvol wrong

[zealous snow]
