You can do what you're attempting, I'm doing it in several places without problem. I suspect that you have the startup config wrong in /etc/rc.conf or in /etc/fstab. Make sure you're mounting the encrypted partition in /etc/fstab (i.e. /dev/ad0s2f.eli and not /dev/ad0s2f) and make sure you have all the geli startup config in /etc/rc.conf per the document you referenced. If that's not enough to help you, please provide your /etc/rc.conf, and /etc/fstab, along with copy/paste of the exact error message you're seeing. -- Bill Moran http://www.potentialtech.com http://people.collaborativefusion.com/~wmoran/
