Hello, I'm running 11.0-CURRENT #0 r281867. I've followed the instructions given at https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/disks-encrypting.html section 18.12.2. I was able to create the encrypted slice and mount it. I transferred some documents to that drive for safekeeping and unmounted it. Updated the machine and added these lines to the kernel: options GEOM_ELI device crypto but before I could rebuild the system later, it (some hours after this) went into a hard lock. Powering off then on again rebooted the system and from there I was able to run buildworld and friends. Rebooted again, now trying to mount the disk: root@:~ # geli attach -k /root/da0p1.key /dev/da0p1 Enter passphrase: root@:~ root@:~ geli status Name Status Components da0p1.eli ACTIVE da0p1 Trying to mount it, this happens: root@:~ # mount /dev/da0p1.eli /mnt mount: /dev/da0p1.eli: Invalid argument I think this needs fsck but I get root@:~ # fsck -p -t ffs /dev/da0p1.eli Cannot find file system superblock What can I do? thanks, -- John
