Aha.
*Is* the keydisk the master key, and hence can't be changed?
Very low priority topic:
What about implementing some routine for regenerating the master key,
even if that would imply reprocessing *all* of the disk's contents?
That could be beneficial in a place where you don't have the space to
backup 100% of the disk as to start over.

The keydisk is the mask for the master key. It can (in theory) be
changed like
changing a password. Really, the key disk is just a prehashed password.

You could, but you'd be really screwed if you crashed halfway. I don't
think
the kernel can/should do this, but it is not impossible for a userland
utility
to manipulate softraid partitions.
