I think I found a possible bug in 9.1 where I configured an encrypted root partition on a USB key and I have trouble entering the password from what seems like a race. 1. GELI first prints to ask for my password on the root, but immediately is interrupted with a message saying that the root failed to mount with error 19. As shown here: http://www.mashtizadeh.com/usbnotwaiting.jpg When I type the file system path some characters are missing. It appears that geli and the prompt for root are both reading the USB keyboard input. When setting kern.geom.eli.visible_passphrase=3D1 then all characters are printed on the screen, but the prompt seems to receive bad input. Is there a way to prevent the root mount failing immediately? I set the boot flag and it seems this works properly on some hardware. --=20 Ali Mashtizadeh =D8=B9=D9=84=DB=8C =D9=85=D8=B4=D8=AA=DB=8C =D8=B2=D8=A7=D8=AF=D9=87
