Bug ID: 208578
Summary: Wrong description of master key in chapter 17.12.2
(Disk Encryption with geli)
Product: Documentation
Version: Latest
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Many People
Priority: ---
Component: Documentation

In Procedure 17.4 step 2 (Generate the Master Key) there is a wrong description
of the master key:
"The following commands generate a master key (/root/da2.key) that is protected
with a passphrase."
/root/da2.key is NOT the master key. The master key is random and each stored
copy of the master key is encrypted with a user key, which in turn is generated
by the geli utility from a passphrase and/or a key file (see KEY SUMMARY in
geli(8)).
I suggest changing the sentence into:
"The following commands generate a master key that is protected with a key file
(/root/da2.key) and a passphrase."
