I just set up a GELI partition for the first time a while ago (not
counting the swap partition). After initializing the GELI device file,
filling it from /dev/random, running newfs, and copying over a couple of
directory trees from another file system, I tried running a C-shell script
in one of the bottom-level directories. The script works fine in its
original location, but after cd'ing to the new location and running it,
the system immediately reboots. Because this leaves most/all of the file
systems marked dirty, fsck has to run on startup. (I ran fsck by hand on
the GELI partition.)
It does it every time, so it is certainly repeatable. Is this a
known problem? Or is there some feature of GELI-encrypted file systems
that is expected to have problems running scripts? (I do not know whether
the problem is limited to /bin/csh scripts. After several crashes in just
a few minutes, I decided I had had enough of that for one night.)
If anyone has seen this happen before, please let me know.
