[-- Attachment #1 --] Hi Anon, "geli restore $dev" recovers the last sector (512B) of the partition from its backup, usually located in /var/backup. If you recovered access via a restore then something has written into it. I've used geli since 2006 on a large number of systems, when there's been a problem its due to my learning (by my mistake). :) openbsd is an excellent choice. Though it would be very helpful if you could detail the steps that caused your negative experiences so the FreeBSD dev's can improve and help others, as this is a community effort :) I set locale and keymap and haven't experienced problems; but my requirements are very simple. There is a bug reporting system at https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi Kind regards, Dewayne.
