Starts off with these two itens. 2. Add gbde(4) Support to the Kernel Configuration File Add the following line to the kernel configuration file: options GEOM_BDE Rebuild the kernel as described in Chapter 8. Reboot into the new kernel. 3. An alternative to recompiling the kernel is to use kldload to load gbde(4): # kldload geom_bde ***Items 2 & 3 can be deleted as gbde is now part of the base release **** The newfs -U -O2 /dev/ad4s1c.bde command is incorrect in item number 5. Create a File System on the Encrypted Device. It should be replaced with this newfs -U -O2 -o space /dev/ad4s1c.bde command where -O2 is a uppercase O and -o space is an lower case o. Point out the uppercase lowercase usage because its impossible to tell from command as shown in handbook. Also the content of man gbde needs updating to remove all reference to experimental code. Section 18.16.2 Disk Encryption with geli item (1. Adding geli Support to the Kernel) can be removed because geli is now part of the base release. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
