Public bug reported:
When trying to install lubuntu on custom created luks volumes.
The installer unmounts the luks volumes by that removing the FS inside
them and fails to install.

This error was allso present in 20.04.
I spent the last two years hoping it would be fixed.
But i decided i might as well report it this time since 22.04 is coming
up soon.

Hope this is all that is needed to reproduce it
