I have a md-backed geli mount which I created as follows: dd if=/dev/zero of=geli.img bs=1m count=102400 mdconfig -f geli.img -u 123 geli init /dev/md123 (blank pass) geli attach /dev/md123 newfs /dev/md123.eli mkdir encrypted mount /dev/md123.eli encrypted And I wish to expand it's size. The method I've been using is to create new larger device and copy data over, but I'm hoping there's a better way to expand in place (without the loss of the existing data). Any advice? Thanks!
