            Bug ID: 232595
           Summary: geli(8) attach backward compatibility broken
           Product: Base System
           Version: CURRENT
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: bin
          Assignee: bugs at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: delphij at FreeBSD.org

Kernels newer than r332361 requires 'dryrun' and kernels newer than r333439
requires 'keyno' parameter when performing geli attach.  This would prevent
newer kernel to work with old binary.

For normal upgrades, where kernel is updated, then reboot, then userland is
updated, this may prevent the upgrade procedure from working, if the encrypted
partition contained required data for upgrade.
