If you look at the source code (in /usr/src/sys/geom/geom_bsd.c), it's dividing the offsets by a sector-size when it prints them out. So they only the same when rounded-down to a sector boundary. I guess you are using a larger sector-size for geli, and specified a fraction of a sector somewhere in the disklabel. BTW it doesn't make much difference, but I don't see any point in using anything other than 448 bits for blowfish under geli. Unlike the other ciphers, no part of its performance is affected by keysize. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
usb external hd question
Hi I bought an external usb hd but i can just get FreeBSD (both 6.2 and 7) to recognice it if the drive is switched on and plugged in during system boot up. Case in which i get the drive detected with both partitions i made in it. (da0 da0s1 da0s2) If i switch it on in an already running system, only an empty usb device is created (da0). Anything i could do for FreeBSD to detect both partitions if i switch the drive on in a already booted up system? also, a side question. When attaching a geli provider, i get this: GEOM_ELI: Device ad4s3.eli created. GEOM_ELI: Encryption: Blowfish-CBC 256 GEOM_ELI: Crypto: software WARNING: Expected rawoffset 14548865, found 14548865 i've been getting it since i edited the label of ad4s3.eli I don't really know if it's a bad thing to get that warning, since both numbers are the same. just wondering.

I don't know what's the proper method, but running `/etc/rc.d/devfs restart` seems to work for me for similar issues. also, a side question.
