Fsck had set some attributes and chattr could reset them so that the files became accessible/eraseable again. The partition is device backed and I don´t think this error was caused by loop-aes. The crash(s) caused it and the only question would be which file system is the most solid. With ext2 / ext3 I think I made the right choice. Thanks for the quick and usefull help!
