First let me say thank you do /dev/rob0 for his assistance with
util-linux. If he hadn't pointed me in the direction, I am sure I
would have gone in circles.

I am now able to mount the filesystem. However, after I use it and
unmount, then detach the filesystem, when I go to mount it again, I
have to specify the keysize, create a new password, and then re-create
the filesystem. Is this how this is supposed to work? I was under
the impression that I could save work to this filesystem, unmount it,
and it would be safe from prying eyes, then later remount it and enter
my password and away I go. Did I miss something?

Thank you,
Neil
