Before this change if you wanted to suspend your laptop and be sure that your encryption keys are safe, you had to stop all processes that use file system stored on encrypted device, unmount the file system and detach geli provider. This isn't very handy. If you are a lucky user of a laptop where suspend/resume actually works with FreeBSD (I'm not!) you most likely want to suspend your laptop, because you don't want to start everything over again when you turn your laptop back on. And this is where geli suspend/resume steps in. When you execute: # geli suspend -a geli will wait for all in-flight I/O requests, suspend new I/O requests, remove all geli sensitive data from the kernel memory (like encryption keys) and will wait for either 'geli resume' or 'geli detach'. Now with no keys in memory you can suspend your laptop without stopping any processes or unmounting any file systems. When you resume your laptop you have to resume geli devices using 'geli resume' command. You need to provide your passphrase, etc. again so the keys can be restored and suspended I/O requests released. Of course you need to remember that 'geli suspend' won't clear file system cache and other places where data from your geli-encrypted file system might be present. But to get rid of those stopping processes and unmounting file system won't help either - you have to turn your laptop off. Be warned. Also note, that suspending geli device which contains file system with geli utility (or anything used by 'geli resume') is not very good idea, as you won't be able to resume it - when you execute geli(8), the kernel will try to read it and this read I/O request will be suspended. |

This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory. This file was last revised on: $FreeBSD$ For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this directory (additional copyright information also exists for some sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for more information). The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree, the most commonly used one being ``world'', which rebuilds and installs everything in the FreeBSD system from the source tree except the kernel, the kernel-modules and the contents of /etc. The ``world'' target should only be used in cases where the source tree has not changed from the currently running version. See: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html for more information, including setting make(1) variables. The ``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets build and install the kernel and the modules (see below). Please see the top of the Makefile in this directory for more information on the standard build targets and compile-time flags. Building a kernel is a somewhat more involved process, documentation for which can be found at: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html And in the config(8) man page. Note: If you want to build and install the kernel with the ``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets, you might need to build world before. More information is available in the handbook. The sample kernel configuration files reside in the sys/<arch>/conf sub-directory (assuming that you've installed the kernel sources), the file named GENERIC being the one used to build your initial installation kernel. The file NOTES contains entries and documentation for all possible devices, not just those commonly used. It is the successor of the ancient LINT file, but in contrast to LINT, it is not buildable as a kernel but a pure reference and documentation file.
