# bioctl -c C -l /dev/wd0d softraid0

So basically, at first bioctl somehow (how?) knows that there isn't any
"crypto stuff" on  wd0d, and after that it will know that it must not disturb
(recreate) the crypto disk - because it has been created before -, but only
open it. Is this correct? If it is, then how can one recreate a crypto disk
(eg. for changing the password)?
