--- Comment #15 from Alexander Motin <mav at FreeBSD.org> ---
Changing passphrase without -i should not change number of iterations, so there
should be no problem:

        /*
         * Field md_iterations equal to -1 means "choose some sane
         * value for me".
         */
        if (md->md_iterations == -1) {
                assert(new);
                if (verbose)
                        printf("Calculating number of iterations...\n");
                md->md_iterations = pkcs5v2_calculate(2000000);
                assert(md->md_iterations > 0);
                if (verbose) {
                        printf("Done, using %d iterations.\n",
                            md->md_iterations);
                }
        }

If md_iterations was ever set, the same value should be used for that disk
forever.
