I have posted this on freebsd-geom, but havent gotten any repsonses so far. It is quite urgent for me to get this running though and it does look like a bug, so I posted here. I can create the slice, create the geli container and write a standard label to it. As soon as I edit the label and save it (even if not changing anything from the default) I get: WARNING: Expected rawoffset 487974, found 487974 (Or another number depending on where I created the slice...) Which looks strange in itself - after all, what kind of messages does GEOM give if does NOT find the expected offset? ^^ I tried to ignore the warning and just started copying data on a partition inside the slice, but got a reboot with geli-write errors (=5) in /var/log/messages. I tried repartitioning and relabeling multiple times to no avail. Thanks for any help! Hannes P.S: ar0 is a soft-raid of 1TB Samsung F1 EcoGreen and 1TB WD Cavier Green EADS. The errors also occur when working on each disk individually. >How-To-Repeat: geli init -l 256 -K MYKEY -s 4096 /dev/ar0s2 geli attach -k MYKEY /dev/ar0s2 bsdlabel -w /dev/ar0s2.eli bsdlabel -e /dev/ar0s2.eli (change nothing and exit EDITOR) >Fix: I tried to read the part in sys/geom/geom_bsd.c that produces the warning, but don't understand it :( Then again it is prefixed by: /* Historical braindamage... */ So I don't know if anyone else does :/ >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
