Hi Nicolas,

nice script.
I believe that this is a sorely missing feature in the installer.
It definitely should be part of the installer that you can configure LVM on top of a LUKS encrypted partition. At the moment it is not possible to select LVM on an LUKS encrypted device.

In the past I always did this setup manually to work around this sad fact, now I might take your script with a small tweak

- a different name for the LUKS device: rename os -> <devicename>_crypt
that makes it more clear that you have an encrypted device in front of you and reduces the danger of accidentally trashing it.
