Thank you Darac for your input.

Here's an update on what I'm doing now.

I caused the RAID1 mirrors to complete the sync in a dropbear boot
environment.

Now I'm writing /dev/zero to the crypt mounted volumes.  No changes yet
to the form of the command, but if I see troubles, then I'll consider
dropping block size and use cat as you suggest.

There is a long way to go before the /dev/zero writing will be done, I'm
going to get some sleep soon and check it later.

Kind Regards
