Hi folks! This question may seem a little strange, but don't hit me yet. :-) I was just sitting here wanting to set up a new GELI-device when it struck me: What should I encrypt exactly. If I were to use GBDE, the usual concept is to encrpyt (only?) the actual partition ad2s1d. GELI suggests to encrypt all of ad2. I guess I could partition the pseudo-device then. Would I get something like ad2.gelis1d? Does this have any advantages oder just encrypting the partition and if so how important are these? Cheers! Chris
