Re: openLuks failing - semaphore weird bug involved ?

If the drive has smart you could ask the drive's diagnostics
if there's any indication of trouble.

I am not familiar with SMART. It reports 4 pending sectors and nothing else wrong. I have run a "badblocks -nvs /dev/sdb3", it did not find any error... And after this, SMART still reports 4 pending sectors.

Any clue about how investigating further ?
