>Description:
To get GEOM Eli working in our project (http://www.freenas.org) i had to enhance the geli userland application. The original code does not support non-interactive scripting, e.g. when creating or initializing GEOM Eli filesystem, because the password has to be entered interactively on the console. Because our project is administrated via WebGUI it is not possible to do that. With the patch you can enter the password non-interactively as following:

(/bin/echo $passphrase; /bin/echo $passphrase) | /sbin/geli init -t -v -e $ealgo $disk

The code has been taken from the Samba tool 'smbpasswd'. The patch itself has been done for CURRENT.

I think this is also useful for other users.

Greetings
Volker
