Decrypting BTRFS root partition when on battery !! Doozie
by riganta from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5KG4W)
I rarely post because most of the time it just works; or I find the solution on the internet. This one is, for me at least, a very weird one. Nor do I have logs but there is also nothing on the internet to guide me. I decided to post in the hope someone could help me.
Arch with LTS Kernel
Lenovo Legion 5
XFCE
Disk encryption with BTRFS/Luks.
Issue:
When on Battery, the root partition cannot be decrypted.
Workaround:
Plugin the laptop and the root partition CAN be decrypted.
Please, tell me I am not crazy and this is a real problem. I apologize as there is no log. I checked and could not find anything relevant. Since its a laptop, I kind of need to use as such but with this issue its not possible. It needs to remain plugged in..
Thank you for your time and help
