Are you aware that tunefs -L will label a device? It is stored as part of the filesystem, instead as a GEOM metadata. So you should be able to get both labeling (/dev/ufs/labelname) and GELI as you are asking for. As for recovering your data, I see other helpful posts in this thread, as I have no additional helpful information to recommend. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
