>What is wrong with this setup? This way cgdconfig is looking inside the container for a GPT label for validation. Did you create one ? If you don't need to partition the container, you could format a ffs filesystem for the whole disk (cgd0) and use the 'ffs' verification method, which checks for a ffs superblock. For other filesystems you need to partition (disklabel, mbr or gpt) if you want the validation step and validate using the partition information. But it's not strictly necessary to validate, -V none will accept a wrong passphrase but e.g. a mount will likely see garbage and fail.
