 ** <code>tcrypt</code> Use this for mounting older truecrypt volumes.
+* <code>--iter-time</code> dynamically determines the number of iterations used to hash your password. The number of iterations is determined when creating the luks key. E.g. <code>5000</code> means hash for 5 seconds and use that many iterations. You can see the number of iterations for each key with <code>cryptsetup luksDump &lt;device&gt;</code>.
