There could be a race in earlier versions where geli stops waiting for providers before they actually show up. You increase debug level to 1 by adding: kern.geom.eli.debug=1 to the /boot/loader.conf and see when message "Tasting no more." is printed. This problem is fixed in 6-STABLE and will be also in 6.1-RELEASE. -- Pawel Jakub Dawidek http://www.wheel.pl pjd@FreeBSD.org http://www.FreeBSD.org FreeBSD committer Am I Evil? Yes, I Am!
