Mounting LUKS root disk on Ubuntu 19.04 (if your current root disk is also encrypted)

I had some trouble mounting a LUKS device recently, so I decided to make this gist.

So, it looks like Ubuntu already does the job of doing luksopen on your device, so you don't have to worry about it.

In order to mount it, I had to:

  1. Find the VG UUID of my drive with vgdisplay
  2. Rename it to something else with vgrename
  3. Mount it from /dev/mapper/...
