Not entirely. Due to GEOM specs, if you create a GELI encrypted container, you cannot use GPT partitioning inside that container. You must use BSD. This is an edge case, and I've submitted a bug about it a while ago, but like I just said, this is apparently a feature not a bug. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
