Encrypt existing filesystem/partition to GEOM GELI

[Balgansuren Batsukh]

Hello Alec,

17.16.1.1 Preparing the Encrypted Hard Drive
The following example assumes that you are adding a new hard drive to your 
system that will hold a single encrypted partition. This partition will be 
mounted as /private. gbde can also be used to encrypt /home and /var/mail, 
but this requires more complex instructions which exceed the scope of this 
introduction.

I read above description from FreeBSD Handbook on www.freebsd.org.

That's why I thought there some way to encrypt in place partition?
