Yes, I used Jim K's documentation (before it was on the wiki) to install the vbox I am currently running 5.0.40. But the patch was created in the 4 series of vbox so getting a bit long in the tooth and would require major overhaul to be useful on any of the recent vbox in 5.1.X series. > Virtualbox ships its own QT5 environment with the software so that it > does not break because of the installed version.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] ZFS and encryption
There is currently no ZFS encryption outside Oracle Solaris, only encryprtion on underlying disks and devices but the mechanism are incompatible between BSD, Illumos or ZoL. Datto is working on it for ZoL based on the last free bits from Solaris. It's not ready but you can expect it on any OpenZFS platform when its ready.

For OpenZFS, there's a pull request open to add ZFS encryption. https://github.com/openzfs/openzfs/pull/124 It's had an enormous amount of review over the last year, including expert security review. Still going through testing. So hopefully, not far off. On 24/07/2017 18:48, Kai Windle wrote: Hi all, I'm just making a quick inquiry as to whether ZFS has encryption built into OI?
