Another huge win for laptops would be disk encryption (for the lost
or stolen laptop scenario).

One question is the user interface.. Presumably
the system bits don't need to be encrypted, just the user bits,
so perhaps the encryption key is just the user's
password, and the key is supplied to ZFS when the user logs in?

I see there's already a project to add disk encryption to ZFS: [1].
Off to do some poking around..
