Re: Need help with live system expansion (zfs+geli)

Sorry about that, again - I'm not sure what you mean by bottom-post vs
top-post.

Be that as it may - I read the geli man page. I was specifically warned
against using "geli resize" since it may not work as expected
https://forums.FreeBSD.org/threads/how-to-extend-zfs-geli-encrypted-disk-space-not-showing.86447/post-581642

Is this advise wrong?

after gpart resize command."
followed by
> You are right, no geli resize needed.

What would be the correct sequence of commands to fix this - Simply "geli
resize" ? (the -s option seems to be additional, will it figure it out
without providing s?)
