The purpose of the "-s" argument is to tell geli where to find th= e old
label, if the provider isn't already attached.=C2=A0 If you supply the<= br> wrong argument, then geli won't be able to find the label, and thus
won't be able to do anything.=C2=A0 It won't destroy any data, and = it will
always automatically determine the size of the current provider.=C2=A0 Of course, if you're worried about losing data, you should always save a copy of /var/backups/ada0p3.eli, as I suggested.

I think you're confusing the -s argum= ent with something else - the man page says it's for the old size - tha= t's why I was trying to figure it out and still haven't been able t= o quite yet. Although I suspect the "Mediasize" output for p3 fro= m "geli list" is what the s value should be - but not very sure :=
