FYI, there are similiar reports on the net, going as far back as May 2006: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.device-mapper.dm-crypt/1636 is the oldest one I could find. Bugzilla entry: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7388 I, too, ran into the bug and failed to reproduce it. However, it might be worth knowing that the system went to 100% iowait afterwards.
