Hello, I'm making the transition from SATA to SSD. A late bloomer.. My setup for years have been a semi-FDE softraid on two physical disks, sd0 and sd1, where the sd0a and sd1a chunks make up a RAID 1 volume sd2. sd2 contains an unencrypted root partition, sd2a, and the remainder of the filesystem

Sector offset values for softraid volumes

Not sure how to express myself here, but consider preparing a physical disk (sd0) for FDE. We initialize the disk: # fdisk -iy sd0 # printf "a\n\n\n\nRAID\nw\nq\n\n" | disklabel -E sd0 # bioctl -c C -l /dev/sd0a softraid0 This yields a virtual disk sd1 with an "a" partition of type RAID that has
