> [2018-10-16 05:41:30] <grahamperrin> I'm sort of waiting for (or to get m=
y head back around) encrypted ZFS then might start from scratch, maybe with=
 a replacement notebook, rolling bectl into the mix.=20

> [2018-10-16 05:57:05] <grahamperrin> =E2=80=A6 I sped through the man pag=
e for bectl, thanks. If I feel adventurous (at a saner time of day): given =
my GELI-encrypted boot routine, should I even _attempt_ to create a boot en=
vironment?

> [2018-10-16 05:59:21] <grahamperrin> Like, I have a very vague long-ago m=
emory of (beadm) boot environments and GELI being not a good mix. Or someth=
ing like that.

My first attempt to create a boot environment failed as shown at

The man page should cover, or at least mention, cases such as this.=20
