I encrypted an external Lacie with filevault (2, osx7.3,firewire), and has been working fine for a few months but just tried to load today and started having issues. Asked for filevault password, entered fine, but then started indexing the drive, which it has not done before. Finder slowed down, had to reboot, and now plugging in the drive I get "The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer" -> initialize, ignore, eject.
Is there any way to force mount this? The drive does not appear in disk utility so disk warrior cannot see it either. Since it is encrypted, I suppose there is no point in trying to connect it to a PC to extract any data?
hoping for any solution.. thanks!

the drive does appear in disk utility, but i get "unrecognized file system" when I try to repair it. it looks like maybe it doesn't know that it's filevault encrypted..?
