fsck on a zulucrypt volume

it flag

When I had TrueCrypt, I could dismount my encrypted volume and run fsck on it as follows:

   sudo umount /media/veracrypt1             # dismount
   sudo veracrypt /dev/sdb --filesystem=none # open without mounting
   veracrypt -l &                            # pop up location box
   sudo fsck -f /dev/mapper/veracrypt1       # run fsck

Now I've updated to zuluCrypt and these commands don't work. I use zuluCrypt to mount my encrypted filesystem to my account with:

sudo zuluCrypt-cli -K $UID -o -d /dev/sdb -e rw -t vcrypt

I believe I can dismount the volume with "sudo umount /dev/mapper/zuluCrypt-1000-NAAN-sdb-3058792502"

I think I can mount with no filesystem with sudo zuluCrypt-cli -O -d /dev/sdb -e rw -t vcrypt

But my attempts to find the location all fail. "zuluCrypt-cli -l" fails with "action" argument missing. "zuluCrypt-cli -L" appears to run, but returns nothing.

Trying to run fsck on /dev/mapper/zuluCrypt-1000-NAAN-sdb-3058792502 also fails.

I have had trouble with corruption on this volume in the past, so I really want to be able to clean it with fsck.

Thanks for any help!

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
