Hello, I have a question about the aesni integration with geli: I use a geli encrypted root, on an aesni-capable cpu, and I noticed that the .eli device is not hardware accelerated even though aesni.ko is loaded (from loader.conf and not kld_list). I have a suspicion that this happens because I did not load the module before running geli init, but I cannot confirm it at the moment. Running geli init on an md device after the machine is fully booted up, results in a hardware accelerated device, so the cpu is not the problem here. Googling for this issue did not reveal something relevant nor did man 4 aesni/man 8 geli, so here I am at the mailing list asking for pointers. Has anyone seen this behavior before? Do you have any hints? PS. I'm running -CURRENT (r234772)
