Further clarification: luksFormat defaults to a 128 bits which is in accordance with the cryptsetup man page section regarding --key-size. However, LUKS crypt volumes created with the Gutsy Alternate i386 installer default to 256 bits and the man page section "NOTES ON PASSWORD PROCESSING" implies the default is 256 bits. The man page is inconsistent and the luksFomat default doesn't match the installer defaults.
