My /dev/sda2 is locked by Bitlocker, and every time I log on, I have to unlock it by entering my encryption key. After reading the wiki, I figured I can add following in /etc/fstab:
UUID /mnt 'Bitlocker 2' nofail,x-systemd.device-timeout=0 0 2
and the following in crypttab:
sda 2 UUID /etc/cryptsetup-keys.d/sda2.key
where sda2.key simply contains the bitlocker key, with no quotations or anything. just the key itself.
I used 'Bitlocker 2' as the file system type because when I enter the command lsblk -f, I get this as the file system type for sda2. But there is no such file system type mentioned in https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/File_s … le_systems. Which is why, I wanted to know if I am making a brutal mistake here.

Solved. I realized it was showing Bitlocker 2 as FSTYPE because it was still locked, upon unlocking, it showed ntfs. Furthermore, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Dm-cry … on_options this article helped a lot, got my setup working.
