Using passphrase to unlock, I get this error:

Environment:

------------------------------------------------

Pretty good with technology, not a Linux guy but understand it enough to get by. Volume was configured as a RAID-Z2.
Found this link during search: https://www.ixsystems.com/community/threads/wrong-key-for-gptid-failed-to-geli-attach.13574/
Is it OK to detach volume and try to re-attach, or should I do something else first? I have geli.key and passphrase.
Thanks in advance for any help.

If the passphrase doesn't work, you'll need to try the recovery key. This may or may not be the same as the geli.key.
