LUKS image is stored on XFS partition. When secondary LUKS signature winds up at one of the offsets checked by libblkid partition then we have the side effects of partition reported with crypto_LUKS fstype, no by-label link created by udev, mount requires fstype, etc

Don’t think that this has been addressed upstream but need to confirm.

Also looking for input about possible workarounds.
