Reporting back, I did: cryptsetup-reencrypt -c aes-xts-plain64 -s 512 -h sha512 --reduce-device-size 4MiB /dev/sda4 It stopped here: Progress: 99.4%, ETA 02:48, 710848 MiB written, speed 27.0 MiB/s IO error during reencryption. Curiously, I did: cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sda4 secret Output>: Device /dev/sda4 is not a valid LUKS device. :-( Is there anything I can still try to salvage this situation??
