Archlinux has its own boot process, described at [1]
Check the initramfs section and you'll see a reference to mkinitcpio [2] .
On the mkinitcpio page look at the Common Hooks section.
Basically there are 2 systems that archlinux can use in initramfs : busybox and systemd .
Check the hooks in your mkinitcpio.conf : are you using the systemd hook or any of the sd-* hooks ?
If yes, mkinitpio sd-encrypt hook is what handles your encrypted drives. see [3] for details
If no, busybox encrypt hook is responsible, see [4]. I'm informed on what the supported boot processed for Arch are, and I very well known which one I'm running, as I configured it. :)
I'm grateful for your help, but you didn't really answer any of my questions, which are about some specifics of the systemd boot process that I'd like to better understand. Riccardo
