FreeNAS has supported zfs encryption for a long while, unless I misunderstand you. Unless its not actually zfs encryption but something else?

- chungy 9y agoIt's only supported encryption in the same way Linux does: by doing a lower-level block device encryption. There's a lot of disadvantages to it, and native ZFS dataset encryption would be nicer.
- gruturo 9y agoFree(BSD|NAS) so far create a "normal" ZFS on top of an encrypted block device, produced via the cryptographic GEOM provider geli ( https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?geli(8) https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?geli(8) ) This instead is ZFS doing the actual encryption on a normal block device.
