of course there is a risk, as doing a fsck will modify the vnd-disk contents. try first with ``fsck -n'', see fsck(8). but as it appears to me, your problem is that as the system was not shut down cleanly, the crypto disk is in a dirty state, and thus a fsck is required for its proper operation. alternatively, you might consider trying a mount with -f and -r, see mount(8), and see if you can read its contents. make sure to use ``vnconfig -k'' first, and see that you have the right key, otherwise neither will work (but should still be safe) Juha
