Also encryption is closed source thing, available only inside Solaris11Express from Oracle and is mostly compatible only with itself apart from the rest of the world, not only for encryption, but also for ZFS version - do not install S11Express first, but start with OpenSolaris snv_134 CD from genunix.org and then upgrade. (and not compatible with other ZFS implementations in OpenSolaris, Illumos, OpenIndiana, ZfsonLinux, Zfs-Fuse, FreeBSD, etc). But since license does not allow S11Ex to be used for anything but testing, it does not matter anyway, one can always use lofiadm to use encryption on open Solaris-based platforms. _______________________________________________ security-discuss mailing list [email protected]
