Hi, I've been having a lot of trouble trying to mount a LUKS encrypted hard drive to recover the data on it. I've followed the directions found here (https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php ... ost5924459), but what I get in the end when I try to mount the logical volume is "mount: unknown filesystem type 'crypto_LUKS'." Below are the steps I've taken to mount the LV, along with the relevant output.
sudo modprobe dm-crypt
sudo cryptsetup open /dev/sdb5 crypt
sudo modprobe dm-mod
sudo vgscan
>> Reading all physical volumes. This may take a while...
>> Found volume group "Cringe-vg" using metadata type lvm2
>> Found volume group "Cringe4-vg" using metadata type lvm2
sudo vgchange -a y Cringe-vg
>> 1 logical volume(s) in volume group "Cringe-vg" now active
sudo lvscan
>> ACTIVE '/dev/Cringe-vg/Backup' [566.13 GiB] inherit
>> ACTIVE '/dev/Cringe4-vg/root' [9.31 GiB] inherit
>> ACTIVE '/dev/Cringe4-vg/swap_1' [4.12 GiB] inherit
>> ACTIVE '/dev/Cringe4-vg/home' [98.12 GiB] inherit
sudo mount /dev/Cringe-vg/Backup /media/temp
>> mount: unknown filesystem type 'crypto_LUKS'
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Never mind about the error. I realized it was because I had resized the logical volume previously. I was able to size the volume to the correct size again using
