I had recently made a GELI container of 36 GB. Both key and raw file were moved on an external disk (USB). Few days back I used newfs with journalling enabled for a USB drive disk partition. The disk is improper and has many a times asked me to do fsck.
Yesterday fsck failed to read/write and couldn't fix the disk inconsistencies. After that I got the error:
I guess this was the mistake because the GELI file size was 36GB with journalling enabled which maybe couldn't keep up with the writing speed.
Anyway, I read at many places that this could be because of a corrupted GELI volume. I do not have the backup files in /var. I remember the password of the container.
Any chance of me recovering my files by any method?
