Re: Cryptsetup-reencrypt and data integrity.

Hi Daniel,

as you need to do a backup anyways for this to be safe, it is 
very easy to just verify the backup against the volume after
re-encryption one additional time. 

If you do this without backup, your data is obviously 
non-critical and so errors do not matter....

Regards,
Arno
