Really appreciated! I was about to set up a couple of ZFS-on-GELI volumes on a test/devel machine that was just upgraded to FreeBSD 10, and planning to access them later from production servers running FreeBSD 9.2-STABLE, wrongly assuming they would be compatible. This should REALLY be documented in the 10.0-RELEASE Errata, as more people are bound to be bit by this regression. http://www.freebsd.org/releases/10.0R/errata.html Thanks, -cpghost. -- Cordula's Web. http://www.cordula.ws/
