Description mwlucas 2014-08-06 21:26:40 UTC

In http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/disks-encrypting.html, it says that "Support for geli is built into the GENERIC kernel."

It is not built into the kernel. It's a module, at least on my 11-current and 9.2-R machines.

This sentence can probably be removed.

  The GELI module is built by default, but the GENERIC kernel does not include GELI by default.
  Correct the handbook to reflect this
