Ok, thank you. At least I'm not alone with this. However, I'm not too much into it and would not go as far to say it's not a recommendable project, but boy was I mad it just died without any way to recover ANYTHING :-)

probably depends on where the issue is located, but is this not normally the case with encrypted drives?

No. Encrypted drives should be recoverable as long as you have the valid decryption values.

I think it had nothing to do with the encryption layer... the FS layer was the problem.
