Title:
  Choosing encryption in installer encrypts disk before confirmation of
  installation

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  When testing out a new OS, I chose the option to install Ubuntu and
  enable LUKS encryption + LVM.

  I was waiting for the confirmation page to ensure that the installer
  was installing to the correct disk. It turns out I'd chosen the wrong
  disk (my main disk) and I figured that I'd simply be able to rollback
  the installer at the confirmation screen.

  The horrific violation of my expectations was that the installer
  _encrypted my main disk and setup LVM_ BEFORE i confirmed the
  installation. Now I'm stuck with my main disk being encrypted and
  unmountable. I'm trying desperately to recover my main disk which I
  cannot boot from, can decrypt but cannot mount.

  Please assist!
