I believe it's all your LVs are not detected by Clonezilla, so it uses partclone.dd to save /dev/nvme0n1p1. In the beginning of ocs-sr, LVM will be shut down, but later it will be enabled after all the partitions without LV are saved. You should be able to see something like: *****************************************************.

We can test more about LVM on LUKS if you tell us the steps how you done that in detail, and we will try to fix this issue. Thanks.
