Yes, if a GEOM provider is encrypted using GELI, the last sector will start with "GEOM::ELI" string (if you are not using onetime keys). I started to work on extension to GELI to allow for "deniable" providers creation where even metadata looks random, but before I finished it, more important stuff appeared on my TODO list. -- Pawel Jakub Dawidek http://www.wheelsystems.com FreeBSD committer http://www.FreeBSD.org Am I Evil?
