Re: [dm-crypt] migrate luks key-slots to another luks container

[Arno Wagner <arno@wagner.name>]

Hmm.

I don't think that is possible at the moment. The experimental
"cryptsetup-reencrypt" requires all passphrases that should remain 
active. 

Any reason why you want to change the cipher? After all, you can
not enlarge the key and keep the keyslots.

As to size, just enlarge the partition. Offset, I don't know,
but if you do not need to keep any data, just changing the
repective fiels in the header should do it. But is there really
any reason to change the offset?
