I tried to attach a geli encrypted partition from a disk of a different machine attached via eSATA, but I got:

geli: MD5 hash mismatch for ada1s2e.

Putting the disk back to the old machine, I was able to attach and use the geli encrypted partition without an error.

Before I investigate further, is this supported in general?

The original machine is 9.0-RELEASE/i386 and does not support aesni. The disk in question is the only harddisk and shows up as:

ada0 at ata0 bus 0 scbus0 target 0 lun 0
ada0: <ST9160827AS 3.AAA> ATA-8 SATA 1.x device
ada0: 150.000MB/s transfers (SATA, UDMA5, PIO 8192bytes)
ada0: 152627MB (312581808 512 byte sectors: 16H 63S/T 16383C)
ada0: Previously was known as ad0
GEOM: ada0s2: geometry does not match label (255h,63s != 16h,63s).

The machine with the error is 9.0-RELEASE/amd64 and has aesni loaded. The disk in question is attached via eSATA and shows up as:

ada1 at ahcich3 bus 0 scbus3 target 0 lun 0
ada1: <ST9160827AS 3.AAA> ATA-8 SATA 1.x device
ada1: 150.000MB/s transfers (SATA 1.x, UDMA6, PIO 8192bytes)
ada1: Command Queueing enabled
ada1: 152627MB (312581808 512 byte sectors: 16H 63S/T 16383C)
ada1: Previously was known as ad10
GEOM: ada1s2: geometry does not match label (255h,63s != 16h,63s).

The geli partition was initialized on 9.0-RELEASE/i386.

The relevant data from fdisk are:
cylinders=310101 heads=16 sectors/track=63 (1008 blks/cyl)
The data for partition 2 is:
sysid 165 (0xa5),(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD)
    start 83886081, size 125826429 (61438 Meg), flag 0
        beg: cyl 1023/ head 255/ sector 63;
        end: cyl 1023/ head 255/ sector 63

The bsdlabel is:
  a:   48234496          0    4.2BSD        0     0     0
  b:    2097152   48234496      swap
c: 125826429 0 unused 0 0 # "raw" part, don't edit
  e:   75494781   50331648    4.2BSD        0     0     0

I was able to mount and use the other (unencrypted) partition on the machine with the geli error.

The major differences -- besides the completely different hardware -- are: SATA/eSATA, i386/amd64, and software/aesni.

What could be the issue here?

Thanks,
Jan Henrik
