First, from the cryptsetup log
# Userspace crypto wrapper cannot use gost-xts-plain64 (-2).
it seems that there is some problem with loading of your gost cipher implementation.
What key size you are using in cryptsetup (default is probably 256bit)?
LRW and XTS modes requires *two* keys in fact (tweaking+encryption).
GOST should use 256bit key, so if you add --key-size 512 to your cryptsetup command
does it help?
