[pkg-cryptsetup-devel] Bug#537385: method to change the hash per-slot

[martin f krafft]

Package: cryptsetup
Version: 2:1.0.7~rc1-2
Severity: wishlist

The "hash spec" reported in the luksDump output should be changeable
for an existing volume. After all, it should apply only to existing
slots and should thus be a per-slot value, with a default for new
slots. It would be nice if I could change hashes by creating a new
key/slot with the new hash and removing the old slot to get rid of
the old hash.
