[Bug 1713175] Re: fsck should check before running on an encrypted LUKS partition

[Theodore Ts'o]

Note: I think this should be a low-priority/wishlist/feature request.
But I can't edit the importance.    It is a valid feature request
though, so I plan to treat it at that priority.

If someone else thinks it's higher priority, patches are welcome.   :-)

  fsck should check before running on an encrypted LUKS partition

Bug description:
  fsck.ext4 runs on a LUKS partition and starts to correct inode
  entries, rendering the partition corrupted and useless. It seems like
  it should defensively check where it is an isLuks partition using
  "cryptsetup isLuks /dev/sda1" before continuing to modify it.

  I hope such a defensive check can be added.
