Hi:






I am then able to run

# geli attach /dev/ad0s2d



What has happened? How do I solve this?

Thanks, Erik

I have an encrypted /home partition using ELI. Recently I changed password for the encrypted partition and now the following problem consistently occurs: At boot I am queried for a password for the ELI partition, I enter et correctly - six times - but it fails every time. After the sixth failure the rc script aborts, I am queried for the root password and enter. manually and attach the encrypted device. Then I can run rc manually and the machine completes the startup without further problems.
