Cannot boot: LUKS partition, failed to open keyfile

Hello everyone,

Today my machine just completely froze while I was installing DigiKam from the AUR. It was in the process of compiling, and the mouse no longer worked. I tried change to a TTY with no success. I even tried to safely restart with REISUB, and that failed too. I was forced to do a hard reset.

When the machine booted, this is the error that I got:

mount: /openswap_keymount: can’t read superblock on /dev/mapper/luks-…
Failed to open key file.
umount: can’t unmount openswap_keymount: Invalid argument
ERROR: resume: hibernation device ‘/dev/mapper/luks-…’ not found
mount: /new_root: can’t read superblock on /dev/mapper/luks-…
You are now being dropped into an emergency shell.

I booted to a live image and did the following:
sudo cryptsetup open /dev/sda2 encryptedhome
and
sudo fsck -f /dev/mapper/encryptedhome

fsck reported some errors, apparently repaired them. I rebooted and received the same result.

Here is some info that I collected to try and troubleshoot:

Partition 3 does not start on physical sector boundary.

In the short term, I would like to copy the sda2 to a file as a backup. I tried using sudo dd if=/dev/sda2 of=/path/sda2.img. The result was a very small image file which could not possibly represent the whole drive.

I would appreciate any ideas or help anyone might have to get me back on track. Thanks.
