I've been playing around with GBDE under 5.2RC2-1. It's a fantastic
encrypted FS.
Following the man page, I've tried to use the destroy command but
without success.
Here is what I did to create the encrypted FS (for this test I didn't
use the /dev/random to fill-up the disc).
# kldload geom_bde
# gbde init /dev/da0 -i
# gbde setkey /dev/da0 -n 2
# gbde attach /dev/da0
# newfs /dev/da0.bde
# mount /dev/da0.bde /mnt/usbkey
--> use the FS, works fine
# umount /mnt/usbkey
# gbde detach da0
Then according to the man page I should use :
#gbde destroy da0 -n -1 to purge all keys but I get :
gbde: illegal option -- n
so I changed to :
#gbde destroy da0 --n -1 and got :
gbde: read: Innapropriate ioctl for device
so I changed to :
#gbde destroy /dev/da0 --n -1 and this time I get the password prompt
but it fails to destroy anything :
Enter passphrase:
Opened with key 0
gbde: No -L option and no space in sector 0 for lockfile
Maybe I didn't understand the purpose of the this command. I thought it
was going to replace each lock key with some random data.
Can somebody explain me how to use the "destroy" command ?
Thanks
Dany
