Hi!

I just tried updating current from r326073 -> r334996 and when
I try 'geli attach' I get the following error:

# geli attach -p -k mykey.key /dev/gpt/da14
geli: Missing keyno argument
#

If I boot the old kernel GELI attaches just fine.

I ran into this once before but can not find the thread.  I recall
it being a bug... with no resolution.

I mount zfs partitions over GELI - my painful solution was to
nuke each GPT partition in the zpool, resilver, repeat and
rinse until everything was non-encrypted and repeat the cycle
to re-encrypt.  NOT FUN.

Looking for suggestions to supply additional information to debug
and resolve.

dmesg attached from working kernel.

Thanks!

r333439 added a '-n keyno' parameter to geli attach, but it's supposed
to default to trying all keys if you don't use -n. Is it possible
you're running a newer kernel (or geom_eli module) than your userland
or vice versa?

Ian:

Yes you are correct.... Maybe not the best method but I normally installkernel - boot into single user mode - GELI attach, zfs mount -av, then installworld.

My boot volume is UFS, but many of the mount points are on zpools.

What would be the best way to test a new kernel without a full installworld
with new userland geli bits?

I currently don't have a way to backup my 35TB of data :-( and don't want to lose anything..... and I need a back out method should a full installworld fail.

Thanks for you quick reply.
