--- Comment #13 from Alexander Motin <mav@FreeBSD.org> ---
(In reply to Frank from comment #10)
"One or more of the iterations end up getting computed differently that wha=
t it
is currently set to and subsequently causing one or more passphrase changes=
 to
fail."  -- Sorry, I don't see logic in this statement.  You several times
mentioned this scenario as source of problems, but I don't see any.  Multip=
le
processes running same time indeed likely cause different number of iterati=
ons
to be set on different disks.  And so what?  The only thing number of
iterations affect is a strength of password protection against brute force
attack.  And it should in no way cause any errors reported, since number of
iterations is generated only once and then used forever, unless forced later
with -i key, which IMO you should not do without very good reason.
