How does one go about this? I'm a retard and have no idea how to fsck an encrypted slice. Could someone point me in the right direction? I've searched google but it keeps coming up with FreeBSD pages on the subject of encrypted partitions.
Did you try simply running fsck? I don't usually engage in speculation, but it seems to me that only the data stored in the files of an encrypted file system is actually encrypted. The various indexing and descriptive structures, being independent of and completely separate from the actual file contents, need not be encrypted and hence should require no special treatment when it comes to running fsck or other low-level file system utilities. Please, someone, correct me if I'm wrong about this.
