With the new patch I can create UFS system and mount.

I can also:


(root at charon) /etc# geli init -P -K /root/test.key /dev/gvinum/test

But when I try to attach it:

(root at charon) /etc# geli attach -p -k /root/test.key /dev/gvinum/test
(root at charon) /etc# mount /dev/gvinum/test.eli /mnt
mount: /dev/gvinum/test.eli : Invalid argument
(root at charon) /etc#

 

Uhm, haven't you forgotten to do a newfs /dev/gvinum/test.eli before
mounting it? It works fine for me when doing that first.
