Mounting Encrypted ISO and mdconfig

[Tim Judd]

Does it need to be an ISO file? i'm just curious why you can't use a
UFS file that's then geli encrypted?


If it does need to be an iso, simply make the same UFS filesystem (2k
blocksize) of 700MB and geli encrypt that.  It'll still burn to CD,
but won't be a CD Filesystem.


Does this help?
