Hi Boris.
The problem is, as you may have already noticed, the "non-standard"
block size of 4k of the GELI device.
If you specify the tradiditional block size of 512 bytes when
initializing the GELI provider, it should work.

I sent an email to Jeff, the answer on April 27 was:
> Thanks for the repro.  This is an interesting case.  I'll have to slightly rewrite the directory handling code in tunefs but it should not take long.

But I forgot to remind Jeff about this issue, as it seems. So I'll try
again with this mail...

Regards,

Lucius
