Thanks for your time and knowledge :-)

I'm gonna drink a toast for the lost bits. Then I probably should
start backing up my stuff!

Wonder how that got in there though. Maybe used as swap because
of the leftover signature?

That would be insteresting to know.

One thing I don't understand: as per the docs I read for setting
the encryption, I selected a size of 384 bits for the key (that
in the case of lrw just 256 are used). What are we looking for
at 0x2ee00 far?

LUKS splits the key (really: blows it up) with the AF splitter.
It blows it up to exactly 4000 times the original key size.
Your key is 384 bit = 48 B. 48 * 4000 = 192'000 = 0x2ee00.
And then add the start-offset (which I forgot ;-) to get
0x2fe00.

Now I see :-)

Again, thanks a lot!
