It seems feasible for my skill level. I know enough of FreeBSD to edit fstab but am not clear about the specific settings in rc.conf. As I am not interested in using geli I looked in /etc/defaults/rc.conf for an appropriate setting but could not find anything that could be used. Did I miss something? If not, does that mean I have to roll my own rc script and place it in /usr/local/etc/rc.d? Cheers ... Marek
