Hi there, I am planning to use GELI on a file-backed device on my laptop. Given that this laptop (toshiba tecra a2) regularly (about 40% of the time) crashes when doing apm -z (either when doing shutdown OR coming back from it), i'm a bit concerned about data loss on the encrypted volume due to an unclean shutdown. Is GELI more prone to losing files than the normal UFS2 filesystem? I considered unmounting the device via the rc.suspend (or apmd.conf, since I'm using apm) and back up when resume...but that would basically mean close all my work in progress, which is less than ideal. As a side note, if anyone knows any trick / method / idea to reduce the crashes thanks to APM (or ACPI, i'd *love* to be able to use it instead of apm), PLEASE let me know :) Thanks in advanced for your time, hints and help Beto
