It is ext3. Earlier today, I had a weird message in a terminal window about an attempt to write to a file in my /home tree failing due to having a read only file system.

Boot from a liveCD then ddrescue it all into a huge image, then attempt recovery on that.
Hi Jeremy, Thanks for the response. I'm not familiar with ddrescue, but I am familiar with man pages :-) > With an image you can even (should) work on a copy of the image so you can go back if something you do screws it up more. Assume I've got a ddrescue produced image and a copy of that, too. Do I then run fsck on the image? What I am completely unsure about is what implications, if any, the encryption has. (Note that the sick feeling in my stomach is likely getting in the way of clear thinking :-( Best, Brian vdB
