This func
Implement automatic online expansion of GELI providers - if the underlying provider grows, GELI will expand automatically and will move the metadata to the new location of the last sector.
This functionality is turned on by default. It can be turned off with the -R flag, but it is not recommended - if the underlying provider grows and automatic expansion is turned off, it won't be possible to attach this provider again, as the metadata is no longer located in the last sector.
If the automatic expansion is turned off and the underlying provider grows, GELI will only log a message with the previous size of the provider, so recovery can be easier.

geli attach multiple providers
Allow attaching of multiple geli providers at once if they use same passphrase and keyfiles.
This is helpful when the providers being attached are not used for boot, and therefore the existing code to first try the cached password when tasting the providers during boot does not apply.
Multiple providers with the same passphrase and keyfiles can be attached at the same time during system start-up by adding the following to rc.conf: geli_groups="storage backup" geli_storage_flags="-k /etc/geli/storage.keys" geli_storage_devices="ada0 ada1" geli_backup_flags="-j /etc/geli/backup.passfile -k /etc/geli/backup.keys" geli_backup_devices="ada2 ada3"
