Hi,
I have here a setup where some backup directories are mounted
encrypted (using geli).
rc.conf:
geli_devices="ad3"
geli_ad3_flags="-k /root/backup1.key"
...
But if the system must be rebooted it asks for the password before a
network connection is available.
The computer has no keyboard via default so it is really a pain to get
the system up again.
Is their a possibility to do something like that after the reboot:
mount /mnt/backup1
and mount starts geli and geli will ask for the passphrase?
Thanks,
Matthias
