I will try what you say. To add to the weirdness, I came into work this morning

recognized by luksDump. I panicked.

Rebooted, and guess what? /dev/MORE_VG/MORE_LV was back to normal and I could
mount it. /dev/FINALFRONTIER_VG/HOME_LV was still corrupted with the "GNU Parted
Loopback 0" output.

This makes no sense to me. How could the leading bits be different each time I
booted up? Could datamapper be assigning the wrong device to the logical volume
in some way? It just makes no sense.

You can run (as root) "dmsetup deps" on each device in /dev/mapper to see
the major and minor device numbers needed for each entry.
