Steve,

If there are no /dev/*.eli devices listed, then there are no geli
providers attached. You can also check the output of the 'geli list'
and 'geli status' commands. If they return nothing, no providers are
attached, otherwise they'll list the providers and algorithms/key
sizes used and so forth.
