The 20230612 entry in UPDATING says:
Encrypted swap partitions need to be changed from nvd to nda if you
migrate, or you need to use the above to switch back to nvd.
Are encrypted (non-swap) partitions supposed to work? If not, it would be less
confusing to directly abort with an error message instead of prompting "Enter
passphrase: " first.
# ls -l /dev/nvd0p4
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 6 Sep 23 14:59 /dev/nvd0p4 -> nda0p4
# geli attach nvd0p4
Enter passphrase:
geli: Provider not found: "nvd0p4"
geli: There was an error with at least one provider.
Using nda works as expected:
# geli attach nda0p4
# Enter passphrase:
<no error>
Tested on 14.0-BETA3.
