Hi Guys,

 This seems liek a really basic question, I expect a simple 'no', but I
havn't found anything definative yet.

 I currently have a hardware RAID5 array, using the Intel Matrix RAID
capability onboard, encrypted with GELI.

I need to add 2 new discs to the array. If I add a disc to the array and
have it rebuilt with the Intel Matrix Storage Manager, prior to booting
FreeBSD will that destroy the encrypted data?

 If so, how can I decrypt the disk without copying the data to another
partition?



Please let me know if you need any other info.

Thanks
