If you try to make mounting from a command line faster by selecting the correct hash (/hash sha512) the password prompt window will have the PKCS-5 PRF hash drop down set to "autodetection" so if you just enter your password it will do the slow autodetect regardless. Changing the drop down to HMAS-SHA-512 will work as expected with the much faster mount.

The drop down should of course reflect the command line choice so you don't have to select hash again.

Per.
