As far as i remember:
it can not change password without reencrypting the whole device
(thats what i tried to do, and given some time, we'll find the leak)
It doesnt shuffle the sectors arround
(the freebsd GDBE does this)
It's not cross-platform.


naturally it can be changed, but untill someone actualy does this...
