>Description:
In section 18.17.4 Swap Encryption with geli(8) of the Handbook there is the following line:

"geli(8) uses the AES algorithm with a key length of 256 bit by default."

This is in conflict with the geli(8) man page which states the following:

"If not given, the default key length for the given algorithm is used, which is: 128 for AES-XTS, AES-CBC, Blowfish-CBC and Camellia-CBC and 192 for 3DES-CBC."
>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
Change the sentence to "geli(8) uses the AES algorithm with a key length of 128 bit by default."

>Unformatted:
