I did a fsck and badblocks. nothing wrong there. I don't think it is failing because cryptsetup on an old opensuse live cd successfully unlocks /dev/sdb1 eventhough it doesn't support ext4.
You're saying "an old opensuse live cd". So I assume, that it hasn't already kernel 2.6.31?
Maybe you should try it with a live cd which already has kernel 2.6.31, if there is any released. It probably is a bug in ext4 in 2.6.31 which wasn't present in 2.6.30. It's not likely, but with ext3 I don't have this issue.
I guess you already have reinstalled the kernel and/or cryptsetup just in case?
If this also doesn't help, I guess someone else who has better knowledge of this than me - should be easy to find ;-) - could try to help.
Heiko Yes, I've reinstalled both the kernel and cryptsetup. luks is device blocks encryption if I'm not mistaken so filesystem type shouldn't matter.
