I am using ZFS over an encrypted device. It works. But the BIG problem is that you lose ZFS portability, you usually need to keep using the same OS, because disk encryption is usually OS dependent. For instance, I am using Linux LUKS. I can not import that harddisk under *bsd or Solaris. So, yes, having native ZFS encryption would be VERY nice. - -- Jesús Cea Avión _/_/ _/_/_/ _/_/_/ [email protected] - http://www.jcea.es/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ Twitter: @jcea _/_/ _/_/ _/_/_/_/_/ jabber / xmpp:[email protected] _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ "Things are not so easy" _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ "My name is Dump, Core Dump" _/_/_/ _/_/_/ _/_/ _/_/ "El amor es poner tu felicidad en la felicidad de otro" - Leibniz -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQCVAwUBUVG4YJlgi5GaxT1NAQJ1/AP/YUnESa1wxMhxYaokQOIDntuq4ffyDbaw jaXzf/7/9LjxG/m2q70y7SNk4QJAaxUO5mQPf9YBEyKMUausqYz4d3VQivQmvSnO BbEcP4t9Dq/il5kZp15X66TpnLWXmO1OzUJyQ7TOZb/Z6gFeWPY7co3n8k4F0T45 hsv2szWhs1w= =R1Ho -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------- illumos-discuss Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/182180/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/182180/21175430-2e6923be Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=21175430&id_secret=21175430-6a77cda4 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
