The 20230612 entry in UPDATING says: Encrypted swap partitions need to be changed from nvd to nda if you migrate, or you need to use the above to switch back to nvd. Are encrypted (non-swap) partitions supposed to work? If not, it would be less confusing to directly abort with an error message instead of prompting "Enter passphrase: " first. # ls -l /dev/nvd0p4 lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 6 Sep 23 14:59 /dev/nvd0p4 -> nda0p4 # geli attach nvd0p4 Enter passphrase: geli: Provider not found: "nvd0p4" geli: There was an error with at least one provider. Using nda works as expected: # geli attach nda0p4 # Enter passphrase: <no error> Tested on 14.0-BETA3.
