A partition setup for installing grub bootloader
My encryped luks drive
I am using this command:
sudo mount -v /dev/nvme0n1p1 /boot/efi
and i am getting this verbose output:
mount: /dev/nvme0n1p1 mounted on /boot/efi.
After pressing F5 to refresh all partitions KDE Partition manager doesnt see it mounted. (Looks the same as the first screenshot)
You actually already mounted it successfully, see the last line of your own quote:
To pinpoint the cause it would help to start with the output of sudo fdisk -x /dev/nvme0n1 or however your HD is named…
Please use 3 backticks on own line, before and after, the output in total.
PS: I’m changing the topic title, because the problem is not mounting as shown above.

To be able to regain access to my LUKS partition i had to restore the EFI partition i backed up then deleted via the KDE Partition Manager, so now i have 2 EFI partitions on different disks and im not sure if its using the new or old one. I assume the old one. The old EFI partition has a /manjaro and /windows section in it for dual booting.
The underlying problem i am trying to solve is to be able to choose Windows Boot Manager or Manjaro before entering a full disk encryption password because my /boot is inside the LUKS paritition. I am trying to reinstall the bootloader outside of the LUKS partition , but i dont know what im doing.
Here is how my PC boots:
Ask for LUKS password
Choose Manjaro or Windows Boot Manager
from there i can boot manjaro or windows
I want to be able to choose Manjaro or Windows before entering a luks password.
I cannot find enough documentation how to move the /boot outside of LUKS.
I have finished that howto i linked above, please read it.
If the info i provided in there is not enough to answer those questions just tell us and we will try to help more.
When it comes to the topic’s title-problem, i see that @Wollie has stepped in to aid you more and i’m sure others will step in as needed…
