Where did 21G from the 148G go?

As suggested in dan.me.uk geli install guide I used geli init -a HMAC/SHA256 and also ran dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/gpt/enc.eli across the eli volume.

Did you use the -a option when doing the geli init?


 -a aalgo        Enable data integrity verification (authenti-
cation) using the given algorithm. This will reduce size of available storage and also reduce speed. For example, when using 4096 bytes sector and HMAC/SHA256 algorithm, 89% of the original provider storage will be avail- able for use. Currently supported algorithms are: HMAC/MD5, HMAC/SHA1, HMAC/RIPEMD160, HMAC/SHA256, HMAC/SHA384 and HMAC/SHA512. If the option is not given, there will be no authentication, only encryption. The recom-
                                mended algorithm is HMAC/SHA256.
