I was probably not specific enough. I would set GELI to use number of threads equal to physical cores - no matter where the info about physical cores comes from ... and that is for ALL encrypted GELI devices - not 'per device'. So If you have ONE disk and 4 physical cores - it means use 4 GELI threads. If You have 80 disks and 10 physical cores - it means use 10 GELI threads for ALL of these encrypted disks - NOT 10 threads per disk. Hope that helps. Regards, vermaden
