I don't understand what this intends.

When the softraid device is to be used, bioctl(8) or the bootloader will require a passphrase - entered by the operator at the console or terminal, or obtained from a "passfile" stored on a disk.

Optionally a "keydisk" may be used.


My understanding is that the best practice for both passfile and keydisk is to use external drives, such as USB sticks, should either be operationally necessary.

I've never used a passfile, nor have I used a keydisk.
