I played a bit with mdconfig and gbde: 1) it seems that ordinary users cannot create any devices. I guess this should be configurable in devfs.rules or devfs.conf? At least that would allow user creation of a memory disk. 2) changning owner of the created md0 I as user cannot create the encrypted device with gbde. It is not clear to me if this is for the same problem as in 1) or if gbde futher messes with the kernel? Any solution on the above? Using geli appears to be the same as for gbde.
