Hi everyone, I have created a new phabricator review for this work to allow multiple providers to be attached in a single geli command if they use the same passphrase/keyfiles. Unlike D9396, this implementation does not modify the kernel. This is achieved by creating a new child geom request for each provider being attached, and passing each request to the kernel one by one. The new patch can be found here: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D12644 I am hoping people can review and comment on this patch, and that I can get assistance committing this once it is approved (as I am only a ports committer).
