I was trying to install FreeBSD 9.0 using a geli encrypted disk and ZFS on my ThinkPad R500 this weekend. I failed. Having sucessfully initialized the geli part and having attached the provider, my attempt to create a zpool on the geli section thus $> zpool create ntank /dev/ada0p2.eli failed with the message Cannot create 'ntank': invalid argument for this pool operation. I could not convince the system to create the zpool on the geli part, so I gave up and created the zpool on the unencrypted partition instead to have a working machine for the week. I would, however, like to have my data on an encrypted partition though. Has anyone witnessed and resolved this issue or does anyone have other ideas? Thanks for your help, cheers, -- Christopher J.
