Re: [dm-crypt] Variable data offset for a LUKS volume that uses a detached header.

[Arno Wagner <arno@wagner.name>]

Hmm. What about actually shifting the partition contents physically?

Or maybe have a dummy-LUKS device, open that, read the master-key 
(see FAQ Item 6.10 ) close it again, and use that master-key
on a plain device? This is probably far to complex, but could 
serve for experiments.

Regards,
Arno
