Guys, any way of testing a geli password on a running machine (/ and swap are encrypted)? I don't remember which of my like 50 passwords I used to do the disk encryption.. :) so ideally I'd like to find out which one it is before I do a reboot and have half an hour downtime guessing the password.

Onepamopa: you can backup data from these partitions before reboot

I know I can. There's not much to backup, it's a production server with a few services running.

So, there's no way to test passwords?
