Correct, I don't understand this either. I entered the debug shell
(break=mount), configured the encrypted root, run 
"e2fsck /dev/mapper/xroot" and there was no warning, it just returned.
"date" displayed the correct BIOS date with "incorrect" timezone (UTC,
not UTC+1).

Setting the mentioned option in e2fsck.conf does help.

Regards,
Eduard.
