Hey list,
I have a disk that was at one time part of a GPT/GELI configuration
and thus, had a passphrase attached to it.
I've since reformatted that disk and am using it for another purpose,
but the system still appears to think the disk should be unlocked via
passphrase. I always have to enter some arbitrary passphrase to get
past the prompt, after which the system continues to boot as normal.
I thought all I would need to do is comment the corresponding parts
in /boot/loader.conf, but that doesn't appear to be the case. Anyone
have any insight?
geli metadata is stored in the last sector of the provider which wont
get overwritten by newfs or similar.
I guess you need to run geli clear on it.

Thanks, I knew this was probably some simple command I was missing to
erase the metadata...Googling didn't turn up much but I probably wasn't
searching for the write thing.
I'll give this a shot, I'm sure this will resolve it. Thanks again.
