--- Comment #3 from Ben Woods <woodsb02 at freebsd.org> ---
For reference, the dry run option was committed to head in the following
commits:

r332361 added the geli attach dry-run option in 12-CURRENT as "-n" flag.
https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base?view=revision&revision=332361

r333438 changed the geli attach dry-run option in 12-CURRENT to "-C" flag.
https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base?view=revision&revision=333438

r332522 merged the geli attach dry-run option to 11-STABLE as the "-n" flag.
Note however that this MFH did NOT merge the corresponding changes to
g_eli_ctl.c and geli.8. The end result of this is that the end user is not
aware that the "-n" flag exists, and it does not work if you try to use it.
On 11.2-RELEASE:
# geli attach -n md0
geli: illegal option -- n
https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base?view=revision&revision=332522

The 12-CURRENT change to the "-C" flag (r333438) has not been merged to
11-STABLE.

None of the work to add the new geli attach dry-run flag has been merged to
10-STABLE, as there is not anticipated to be a 10.5-RELEASE.

I have re-opened this bug to ask the question: will the new dry-run flag be
merged to 11-STABLE in a working form as the "-C" flag?
