i didn't specify the iteration, but a quick look at luksDump gives the
impression that this should not be the reason:

# cryptsetup luksDump /dev/vg_int/ctest2 | grep Iterations
	Iterations:         	419928
	Iterations:         	421541
	Iterations:         	419581
	Iterations:         	423105
	Iterations:         	420162
	Iterations:         	421461
	Iterations:         	420988
	Iterations:         	421656
