Given the difference in LSNs is only 176 sectors, it seems very likely that the drive isn't honoring device flushes and so the log writes that moved the tail haven't hit the disk before the metadata which was issued after the log write completed... What is the drive you are using (brand, model number age, etc)?

Unlock the encrypted device first? What does blkid tell you about that device? Cheers, Dave. -- Dave Chinner david@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
