* Encrytion on top of RAID or the other way round?
|
||||
|
||||
Unless you have special needs, place encryption between RAID and
|
||||
filesystem, i.e. encryption on top of RAID. You can do it the other
|
||||
way round, but you have to be aware that you then need to give the
|
||||
pasphrase for each individual disk and RAID autotetection will not
|
||||
work anymore. Therefore it is better to encrypt the RAID device,
|
||||
e.g. /dev/dm0 .

* How do I read a dm-crypt key from file?

However, this operation will not change volume key iteration count

(MK iterations in output of "cryptsetup luksDump"). In order to

change that, you will have to backup the data in the LUKS

container, luksFormat on the slow machine and restore the data.

Note that in the original LUKS specification this value was fixed

set to iterations in 0.125 sec or 1000, whichever is larger.

1 second, spending the additional 0.125 seconds really does not

matter.
