Enabling journaling in an geli-encrypted virtual disk

[gw]

I'm following the steps from the HOWTO on creating an encrypted, file-backed virtual disk, much like a Truecrypt volume. I'm worried, though, that if for some reason I lose power while I'm writing to the mounted geli disk, I might corrupt it. The HOWTO says to make a filesystem with the newfs command -- does this automatically enable journaling, or do I have to do something extra to get that?

If your GELI encrypted device is /dev/md0.eli ;

# kldload geom_journal.ko
(and add

geom_journal_load="YES"

to /boot/loader.conf)

# gjournal label /dev/md0.eli
# newfs -O 2 -J /dev/md0.journal
# mount /dev/md0.journal /somewhere
