First, I'm by no means a professional programmer, and I'm not a LUKS/dmcrypt developer either. As far as I understand the source, MK iterations is the iterations used to derive the master key via PBKDF2 (mkDigestIterations), and what you can specify by using "--iter-time" is the iterations used to transform a passphrase into a key for one of the keyslots (passwordIterations), used to unlock the master key. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. _______________________________________________ dm-crypt mailing list dm-crypt@xxxxxxxx http://www.saout.de/mailman/listinfo/dm-crypt
