Actually, the variable ${gbde_devices-auto} in /etc/rc.d/gdbe is almost
certainly a typo. I changed it to ${gbde_devices_auto}.
Additionally, one has to set
gbde_lock_[device]=/path/to/lockfile or
gbde_lockdir=/path/to/lockdir [where the lockfile(s) must
have the encrypted slice's name and a '.lock' extension
in /etc/rc.conf.
Having done this, i have a solution for mounting encrypted partition at
boot, which seems perfectly clean to me. Wonderful.
