Hi, I'm currently initializing a fairly large LUKS crypt device, about 33TiB. I've done this before, but not for quite a while, so I can't remember how long it normally takes. My current cryptsetup invocation has been running for about 24 hours, taking 100% of one CPU core for that entire time. If there's I/O happening, iostat isn't showing it. If `cryptsetup luksFormat` has to write the entire contents of the underlying block device, then this length of time is reasonable - but I don't recall if it has to do that. Is this long runtime normal for initialization of a device of this size? System is Debian Wheezy with a mainline 4.6.2 kernel, cryptsetup 1.4.3 from the normal Debian package.
