My biggest concern was when I read this:
Warning: In any scenario, never use file system repair software such as fsck directly on an encrypted volume, or it will destroy any means to recover the key used to decrypt your files. Such tools must be used on the decrypted (opened) device instead.
That sounds pretty serious tbh but maybe I misunderstood something. volume != partition for example?
