boot lvm fsck.ext4 no such file or directory error

Hi sins my last upgrade my system hangs on boot whit en error saying:

fsck.ext4: No such file or directory while trying to open /dev/mapper/SDA-Arch0

I have /dev/sda encripted true loop-aes(for it's better performance )

After some searching i found the file /etc/rc.sysinit runs the fsck program on boot so i edit rc.sysinit and add the following code directly before the fsck part:

mount -n -o remount,rw /
vgscan
vgchange -ay
vgchange --refresh
mount -n -o remount,ro /
sleep 1

Although this has solved the boot error i still have some questions an answered:
What script / program is failing in the first place?
Will my edit be preserved on upgrades?
Hes it something to do whit lvm on a loop device?

Thanks in advans
