1 Yes, encrypted filesystems will fsck just like regular fs. I've lost
2 power a couple of times on mine and recovered. If this is more than a
3 few times it would be a good idea to move the remaining data to a
4 freshly created encrypted container. Ext2 works the best, reiserfs works
5 as well (with loop-aes) - both have survived power failures, I feel ext2
6 is safer.
