There's more than a single drive underneath, but I'm not sure that this isn't an underlying problem. The file in which the data for this encrypted filesystem is stored exists on an ext4 filesystem on an LVM logical volume in a volume group which uses a physical volume that is entirely on a RAID array. Other filesystems are all in the same volume group, and the array is auto-verified frequently by the 3Ware 9650SE-8LP controller. Fsck'ing each of them -- including the one on which the encrypted fs image file is stored -- shows no problems. -- Phil Mocek
