Oh, and of course! GELI allow selection of the algorithm, key length and
such. GBDE uses AES-128 only.
I migrated to GELI in December, 2006.
After the problem I had was resolved:

Honestly, I also had a problem with GELI data authentication support,
but I don't really need it.
Google and search the PR database to see what other folks had to say.
Michael C Voorhis said the following on 14.04.2007 18:07:
The Handbook contains descriptions of GELI and GBDE for encrypting
disk partitions; will both of these techniques remain available into
the future? The fact that there are two implies (to me) that one may
be on the way out, in preference of the other.
In src/sys/geom/eli (RELENG_6) the oldest GELI sources are younger
than the youngest GBDE stuff in src/sys/geom/bde. Is GBDE falling by
the wayside in favor of GELI?
Thanks for any information,
Mike.
