Search for "eli" in the man page. It will go to the section where "fs_type" is being described. In the middle of that paragraph, it says: "Swap entries on .eli devices will cause automatic creation of encrypted devices. The ``ealgo'', ``aalgo'', ``keylength'', and ``sectorsize'' options may be passed to control those geli(8) parameters." The ``keylength'' paramater is an invalid option which did work when I used it in the fstab file. I found the SVN commit (r252310) where the key length parameter was documented. It should be ``keylen''. Using this spelling of the parameter, I was able to successfully set the key length for the encrypted swap partition. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: Update the documentation to spell the key length option as "keylen". >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
