Encryption and LVM install not working.
by robcampbell from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6E56X)
I'm having a difficult time installing Debian 12 on a 3 drive system. 2 6 TB drives and 1 2 TB drive. I want the 2 6tb drives to be part of a multimedia LVM and I want it encrypted.
When doing this, the installation says I need to encrypt swap however, automatic partitioning didn't create a swap partition. So I had to delete the 2T partition, create an efi partition because it complained about that and I chose to create the encryption for all 3 partitions at once. I also tried by first creating the LVM for multimedia and encrypting that and swap but still having a problem booting.
It asks for the password and depending on how I set it up, either multimedia passes but swap does not and it puts me in a emergency mode loop or it doesn't accept the password and puts me in an emergency mode loop.
