It allows unlocking a primary drive with a password, availing the
keyfile/key"disk" that then unlocks subsequent disks (rather than
needing to enter a password for each of the subsequent disks).
Whether it makes sense to you or not, the process (as documented in the
initial email) works exactly as I'd hoped as long as I use the vnconfig
method.  And even *mostly* works if I use the mount_vnd method, I just
can't destroy/unconfigure the device with `vnconfig -u`.

So I'm trying to figure out why the difference in behavior.
