Not silly at all. I didn't know that could be an issue, but they weren't mounted with "geli_devices," they were mounted by hand with "geli attach /dev/ad<disk>." I did not set the -d flag on attach, and I don't think I used the -l flag on detach, either. Listing the device says this: Geom name: ad10.eli EncryptionAlgorithm: AES-CBC KeyLength: 128 Crypto: hardware UsedKey: 0 Flags: NONE (and more stuff) One more interesting thing: I accidentally rebooted the system without any detaching/exporting (it involved a different, bad drive). When it came up, I was able to re-import tank without any problems. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
