Does anyone know if there is a non-destructive way to resize an existing partition that is encrypted using gbde? I'm running 11.2-RELEASE on a VM with two disks: ada0 (root and swap) and ada1 (encrypted data). I've enlarged the second disk from 20GB to 60GB and followed https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/disks-growing.html. The gpart step worked fine: # gpart resize -i 1 ada1 # gpart show ada1 => 63 125829057 ada1 MBR (60G) 63 125829057 1 freebsd [active] (60G) The problem is with growfs: # growfs ada1s1 => growfs: superblock not recognized # growfs ada1s1.bde => growfs: requested size 20GB is not larger than the current filesystem size 20GB I suspect that resizing is not supported with GBDE devices but haven't found any mention of it in the Handbook or forums. Can somebody confirm? Cheers, Karl
