Hi all, we are planning to use LUKS containers on machines with limited local storage but access to a large, but shared file system. So far I've only found security considerations for existing LUKS containers. Are there any information on issues possible during **creation** of a LUKS container? I.e. if it is possible for someone with access to files on the file system, where the container is being created by `cryptsetup luksFormat`, is able to infer any information on the key during the process? Can anyone point me to relevant information/research? Thanks, Alexander Grund
