+For enabling :ref:`encryption <ceph-volume-lvm-encryption>`, the ``--dmcrypt`` flag is required::
+
+ ceph-volume lvm prepare --filestore --dmcrypt --data volume_group/lv_name --journal journal

There is flexibility to use a raw device or partition as well for ``--data``
that will be converted to a logical volume. This is not ideal in all situations
since ``ceph-volume`` is just going to create a unique volume group and

+For enabling :ref:`encryption <ceph-volume-lvm-encryption>`, the ``--dmcrypt`` flag is required::

+ ceph-volume lvm prepare --bluestore --dmcrypt --data vg/lv
If a ``block.db`` or a ``block.wal`` is needed (they are optional for
bluestore) they can be specified with ``--block.db`` and ``--block.wal``
