+
+Geomman is a partitioning tool (TUI) based on man:sade[8] that brings more functionality such as copying, pasting partitions, creating ext filesystems or encrypting partitions using man:geli[8].
+
+Geomman is relevant for both newcomers and experienced users bcause it is a complete and unified management of partitions and disks.
+
+Features added to geomman since last report are:
+
+* Grow UFS, NTFS, ext2, ext3 and ext4 filesystems.
+* Shrink NTFS, ext2, ext3 and ext4 filesystems.
+* New partition dialog, where users can visually select a free space to place the partition to be pasted or moved, added to link:https://gitlab.com/alfix/bsddialog[bsddialog].
+* Create exFAT, NTFS, ext2, ext3 and ext4 filesystems.
+* Check all the mentioned filesystems.
+
+Then, two GEOM-related features were added too:
+
+* Label man:glabel[8] new partitions.
+* Encrypt man:geli[8] new partitions by adding an optional "keyfile", plus a "passphrase" (or passfile).
+
+Finally, with the help of mailto:[email protected][Robert Clausecker], we published the link:https://www.freshports.org/sysutils/geomman[geomman port] to let people try it out. 
+
+Future work includes:
+
+* Add geomman to FreeBSD natively (userland)
+* Add ZFS management
