Hi, I'd like to remove the GELI prompt/functionality from a root-on-zfs system. How can I do this without re-initialising the whole system? It's not a redundant array - it's just one disk. There are some methods turning up in a search, but from years ago, and zfs is a fast-moving target. They're all using redundant arrays in their examples. What I'm after is the latest approved/proper method to remove GELI from the booted, unlocked, single-disk zfs system. Is this possible in-situ? OS is FreeBSD 15.0-CURRENT #0 main-n277432-bada3811884c: Sun May 25 15:02:38 BST 2025 GENERIC-NODEBUG amd64 1500043 1500043 # zfs version zfs-2.3.99-323-FreeBSD_g246e5883b zfs-kmod-2.3.99-323-FreeBSD_g246e5883b # lsblk DEVICE MAJ:MIN SIZE TYPE LABEL MOUNT da0 0:104 838G GPT - - da0p1 0:105 512K freebsd-boot gpt/gptboot0 - <FREE> -:- 492K - - - da0p2 0:106 8.0G freebsd-swap gpt/freebsd-swap SWAP da0p3 0:107 830G freebsd-zfs gpt/freebsd-zfs <ZFS> da0p3.eli 0:110 830G zfs - - <FREE> -:- 772K - - - thanks in advance for any help/tips --
