@suresh,
Try using the UUID or device LABEL instead of the path to the logical volume. Do that in a regular mount command, and if it works change that in your /etc/fstab.

I have created encrypted LVM using ssm

ssm create -s 3G -n vol01_docs -p tecmint_vg –encrypt luks –fstype ext4 /mnt/docs /dev/sdb

updated /etc/crypttab file with UUID and after that made entry in fstab. When i reboot its not booting up going to maintenance mode

give root password for maintenance
type Control-D to continue).
fstab entry:
/dev/mapper/vol01_docs /mnt/docs ext4 defaults 0 2

Could you please let share you thoughts on the same issue. thanks in advance :)

@Rizal,
Feel free to use whatever tool you like :). I used parted because it seems to be the default tool suggested in the RHEL 7 documentation.
