Hi All,

is there way to clone dedicated geli configured flash drive?

i mean something like this:

1. plug in geli configured dedicated flash drive to be clonned 
   (it detects lets say da0)
2. plug in new flash drive to clone p.1 drive to 
   (it detects lets say da1)
3. dd if=/dev/da0 of=/dev/da1 bs=10240 conv=sync
4. geli attach -k <the_same_key_used_for_p1_device> /dev/da1s1

i was trying and it has no effect, geli unattacheble and data is
corrupted :(

am i wrong to think it is possible somehow?
