Maybe the crypto setup failed and /dev/mapper/enc-a has not been 
decrypted. What does

$ dd if=/dev/mapper/enc-a bs=1k count=20 | less

or

$ dd if=/dev/mapper/enc-a bs=1k count=20 | file -

show you? Here I can "less" through something which appears to an XFS 
header, ater this I can even see filecontents. The 2nd command should show 
sth. like "SGI XFS filesystem data".

And don't forget to use a current kernel/xfsprogs before doing sth. with 
the FS....
