Description Christian Kujau 2015-02-17 04:13:20 UTC 
Chapter 18.13 ("Encrypting Swap") of the FreeBSD handbook[0] mentions that geli_swap_flags can be used to alter default settings for encrypted swap devices. This flag has been made obsolete with commit r252310 [1] and during bootup (10.1-RELEASE) the following is printed now:

 /etc/rc: WARNING: $geli_swap_flags is obsolete.  Ignored.

So, if geli_swap_flags is really obsolete it should be removed from the documentation. But I wonder if it's still possible to change certain settings for encrypted swap devices.

Thanks,
C.
