I restored /etc/gbde/ad0s2c, and the problem remained. I double checked gdb=
e=20
in the kernel, and it is in there. I had a bad shutdown earlier this week a=
nd=20
backup up everything right after that.

This problem came out of nowhere this morning. I had no problems at all wit=
h=20
gdbe at all until today. I have all the data encrypted by gnupg on normal=20
files, so I will just remake the encrypted partition from scratch.

Thank you very much for your help.
