Ian:
Yes you are correct.... Maybe not the best method but I normally
installkernel -
boot into single user mode - GELI attach, zfs mount -av, then
installworld.
My boot volume is UFS, but many of the mount points are on zpools.
What would be the best way to test a new kernel without a full
installworld
with new userland geli bits?
I currently don't have a way to backup my 35TB of data :-( and don't
want to
lose anything..... and I need a back out method should a full
installworld fail.
Thanks for you quick reply.

Yes that is the prescribed method. if it doesn't work then whoever
changed the
geli code should fix it to handle this.
You should be able to run older code on newer kernels with very few
exceptions.
I don't know if this also affects upgrades form 11. Have you tested that?
