I'm not sure what "Cybertrust Transparent Encryption" is exactly. I've
only found "CipherTrust Transparent Encryption" from Thales, but I have
no idea if that's what you're using ...

I'm afraid that's impossible to answer without much more information. So
many things in various layers could have caused this. It could be a
Postgres bug, or maybe it's something in the transparent encryption
system, or maybe it's a storage issue. Who knows?

I suggest you talk to authors of the encryption solution, and try to
figure it out with them. I suppose you're paying them for the solution
and support, and they are probably in the best position to help you.

But they'll need some information about the problem too, I guess. You
haven't even told us which Postgres version you're running, on what OS,
how much data is there, and so on.

What I usually do in data corruption cases is to look for "weird" things
since the last successful operation (before hitting the issue). It might
be a crash/recovery of the database, storage issues, unexpected reboot,
or any other thing that does not happen often. It's hard to re
