Changing password for GELI encrypted diskpartitions

[Erik Norgaard]

Hi:

The man page doesn't seem to say anything about this: How do you change 
the pass phrase for an encrypted partition (geli)?

(I found that on boot the password must be entered with US keyboard 
layout and suddenly I couldn't figure out how to type it. Problem is 
solved, no data lost I just recreated the partition. Yet, it would be 
nice to know).

Secondly: Is the passphrase protecting the key file or the partition 
itself? (just for curriosity).

Thanks, Erik
