I recently installed 8.2 and took the defaults in regards to partitioning my hdd. I have a partition for /, swap, /tmp, /var, and /usr. After installing I went about customizing everything, installing bash, sudo, kde4 etc etc. Now my setup is basically done and I want to setup geli and encrypt my /usr partition. After reading the handbook I am starting to wonder if I should have allocated a separate partition for /home and then left /usr alone, and only encrypt /home as I am getting numerous error messages and failure to mount /usr upon boot. After getting these error messages I disabled geli from /boot/loader.conf and can definitely post my specific error messages if need be, however before I did that I was hoping to get some feedback and thoughts from users that are currently using geli on their system.
