Description
We don't currently have tests for reusing a LUKS device. kola tests can't do this, since they can't reuse a secondary disk with a fresh boot disk. The blackbox tests have a couple tests for filesystem reuse, but don't understand LUKS at all.
This contributed to the regression in https://github.com/coreos/ignition/issues/1305.

Research direction
Start by reading the existing blackbox tests for filesystem reuse and compare them with the constraints described for kola tests and secondary disks. Add blackbox coverage for reusing a LUKS device across a fresh boot, and verify that the regression scenario in issue 1305 is covered.
