Hmm, then I guess it was a good idea to update from 8.0 before I set up the new drive. :-) Thank you for the infomation so far! This however makes another question arise: Is there some recommendation on the ratio between geli's -s option and the options -b and -f of newfs (I don't think -i option is important to geli)? Basicly: If I use different block sizes for the file system (in my case much larger than the default), would it be a good idea to use the same size as geli's sector size? If so, which sizes should be the same? Sector size (geli) and blocksize or frag size (newfs). I intend to use UFS. Best regards and good night!
