Hello!
If you need to convert your crypto-fs from cipher to another (for example
from serpent to aes), you can use this:
1) setup loop0 (your current crypto-fs)
2) setup loop1 using the same device as loop0, but using the new cipher
3) don't mount loop0 or loop1
4) dd if=/dev/loop0 of=/dev/loop1
5) detach the loops
6) setup loop0 using the new cipher
7) done
Worked at least in couple of machines.
Use at your own risk! Remember the backups!
