Colleagues,
The geli(8) man page suggests initializing a geli provider with a
random keyfile (geli init -K). It also asks for a passphrase by default.
What happens if a provider is initialized without the -K option, just

It's not the most safe medium these days...
I'll backup the keys on CD. It's just that I don't want to waste a
CD-ROM drive in this server.
There is a problem here, because GELI initializes _before_
