I have a pair of disks that were part of a mirror on a motherboard with a nVidia nForce 590 SLI chip set, which decided to stop booting one day.

When I attempt to mount them, using a SATA to USB adapter, I am prompted, as expected, for the encryption password, which it does seem to accept iwithout problem. Unfortunately, however, it does not seem to recognize the formate of the decrypted disk.

A gnome-disk-utility screen shot can be viewed here;

As you can see, the only option it gives me is to reformat.

I found the following in syslog
