Migration from an encrypted system

Dear all,

I followed the migration instructions on the Wiki, which I thought was very well written. However, I have an encrypted partition, which contains the / and /home directories, and artix linux boot process was not able to open this partition. I rebooted using the artix live USB and used the CLI to open the device:
Code: [Select]
cryptsetup -v open --type luks /dev/sda2 lvm
This returned an error message indicating either the device did not exist or couldn't be opened. lsblk  listed /dev/sda2 by the way. I tried a while more without success and fell back to arch live USB, which opened the partition as expected, and without problem. I reverted my migration back to Arch due this problem and wanted to report here. I am probably missing something(s) possibly very obvious, however, you may consider adding an encryption section to the Migration wiki page.
