[dm-crypt] 1.6.2 - waiting for zero, luksFormat hung

["shmick@riseup.net" <shmick@riseup.net>]

hello all,

any advice to overcome this?

i don't want to change ciphers or other crypto options

ive tried both --cipher twofish-xts-plain64 and --cipher aes-xts-plain64

prior i did modprobe relevant ciphers, hashes

appart for waiting for zero issues, i also cannot benchmark

please see below

running from an amd-64 linux mint 13 system 3 disk software raid 5
