I suspect they won't be and that you will run into problems with fsck and mount not being able to find the .eli partitions. If you go this route the console will still prompt for the passphrase, but you'll be able to ssh in and run /etc/rc.d/geli start manually, which after it ran, would automagically run everything after it in rcorder Wouldn't you have to kill the original /etc/rc.d/gel process? I think it would just be easier to write a script to handle the attach, fsck, and mount. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
