https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D206599 Bug ID: 206599 Summary: Geli restore from backuped geli-metadata is not possible Product: Base System Version: 10.2-STABLE Hardware: amd64 OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Some People Priority: --- Component: kern Assignee: freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: marc.arnold.bach@gmail.com CC: freebsd-amd64@FreeBSD.org CC: freebsd-amd64@FreeBSD.org Hello, Setup: - I installed a freebsd in a vmware from using "auto zfs root" option. - The zroot pool is located on /dev/da0p4.eli after installation.=20 - Rebooting works, even if keyboardlayout during boot is US not selected... (this is a simple setting..) Symptom: Restoring a metadata from file is rejected by geli Procedure to reproduce this: root# geli backup /dev/da0p4 /root/backupme root# geli restore /root/backupme /dev/da0p4 geli: Cannot write metadata to /dev/da0p4: Operation not permitted Some tests I did: a) file backupme is existing and has size 512byte... For testing I tried to restore it to the created blockdevice da0p4.eli. The application rejects du= e to size, what makes sense as this is the inner container, not the partition itself. =3D> file seems to contain valid data b) I tried to force restoring to /dev/da0p4, even if partition was never modified.. same result: Operation not permitted... The zpool was not exported, nor the cryptodevice detached as it is the rootpool. However it is never mentioned that restore works only in detached, offline blockdevices... it is just a block of data at the end with same masterpwd...
