https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D208578 Bug ID: 208578 Summary: Wrong description of master key in chapter 17.12.2 (Disk Encryption with geli) Product: Documentation Version: Latest Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Many People Priority: --- Component: Documentation Assignee: freebsd-doc@FreeBSD.org Reporter: wout@canodus.be In Procedure 17.4 step 2 (Generate the Master Key) there is a wrong descrip= tion of the master key: "The following commands generate a master key (/root/da2.key) that is prote= cted with a passphrase." /root/da2.key is NOT the master key. The master key is random and each stor= ed copy of the master key is encrypted with a user key, which in turn is gener= ated by the geli utility from a passphrase and/or a key file (see KEY SUMMARY in geli(8)). I suggest changing the sentence into: "The following commands generate a master key that is protected with a key = file (/root/da2.key) and a passphrase." --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
