# uname -a FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE #0: Fri Jan 12 10:40:27 UTC 2007 root@dessler.cse.buffalo.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386 # cat /boot/loader.conf beastie_disable="YES" geom_eli_load="YES" geom_mirror_load="YES" padlock_load="YES" Swap space is encrypted by appending '.eli' to /dev/mirror/gm0s1b in /etc/fstab. According to the ouput of swapinfo that works fine. /dev/mirror/gm0s1a is mounted on / /dev/mirror/gm0s1d is mounted on /var /dev/mirror/gm0s1e is mounted on /usr /dev/mirror/gm0s1f is mounted on /crypt I was trying to encrypt /dev/mirror/gm0s1f but a "MD5 mismatch" occurred: # umount /crypt # dd if=/dev/random of=/root/gm0s1f.key bs=64 count=1 1+0 records in 1+0 records out 64 bytes transferred in 0.000580 secs (110331 bytes/sec) # geli init -K /root/gm0s1f.key -l 256 -s 4096 /dev/mirror/gm0s1f Enter new passphrase: Reenter new passphrase: # geli attach -k /root/gm0s1f.key /dev/mirror/gm0s1f MD5 hash mismatch for /dev/mirror/gm0s1f. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Was anybody successful in this respect? I'd appreciate every hint.
