There's no problem when I issue the command:

In geli_da2_flags you are passing the -p flag, which you're not using in your command. The geli manpage says:
Quote:
|
-p Do not use passphrase as the key component.

So, remove the -p flag and it will (probably) work.

I really don't understand the following paragraph, as it's referring to '-P' option, but it's '-p' that is shown in the `geli_da2_flags`.

You're confusing two flags. The flags in geli_da2_flags are passed to
geli attach, the -P flag refers to
geli init (quoting from the handbook):
Quote:

geli will not use a passphrase when attaching to the provider if -P was given during the geli init phase.
