Encrypted home partition not properly mounted when creating a manual partitioning scheme
When i tried to install my System using archinstall i created a manual partitioning scheme with encrypted / and /home partitions. The / partition is properly mounted, however the system won't boot saying something like Failed to mount /home (I don't remember the exact message sadly and don't really want to redo my system atm). Upon further inspections i noticed that the wrong UUID (or at least one i couldn't find with blkid) is tried to be decrypted and mounted.
I was able to work around this by manually unlocking and mounting /home and booting into my user with systemctl default.
I have now worked around this by unlocking the /home partition with a keyfile and manually adding it to /etc/crypttab and mounting the partition (and commenting out the old mount procedure) in /etc/fstab.
Here's also some information about my System if thats relevant or of any help:
CPU: i5-12600K
Drive: WD Blue SN550 2TB NVME SSD
Kernel: 5.15.45-1-lts (had the same problem with linux (5.17-sth) as well)
Bootloader: grub
This also happened to me today. Using pretty much the default install settings. systemd-boot, ext4 filesystems, separate home partition. All seemed to install fine from the live system ISO, but then upon booting I got the same error as above. I could confirm that the home partition was created correctly by unlocking it manually, but I don't know enough about the cryptsetup system to be able to correct the problem.
I gave up in the end and just used a single partition for home. That booted fine and seems to be working so far.
Let me know if I can provide any more info
Here's a good guide for automounting LUKS encrypted partitions. I can confirm that my older archinstall-based setup (archlinux-2022.03.01-x86_64.iso) created unlock key for /home partition correctly in /etc/cryptsetup-keys.d/homeloop.key and has set correct UUID in /etc/fstab and /etc/crypttab.
