Encryption didn't make it in? That's too bad!
- lathiat 9y agoYeah I've been watching the pull request eagerly but not quite there :( https://github.com/zfsonlinux/zfs/pull/5769 https://github.com/zfsonlinux/zfs/pull/5769 Judging by the comments from today though it sounds like it will be merged very shortly after this release. So that's good news :D I'm also wanting to look at this "OPAL" native drive encryption stuff, which requires among other things a UEFI plugin and some other bits. That would be a useful solution also though much more versatile here in ZFS for example doing per-user stuff, and also encrypted send without decrypting Lots of good changes in 0.7 otherwise!
- lmm 9y agoWait, has encryption hit open-source ZFS at all? Can I use it on FreeBSD?
- wspeirs 9y agoDon't know if you can use it on FreeBSD yet, but tcaputi added it to Linux here: https://github.com/zfsonlinux/zfs/pull/5769 https://github.com/zfsonlinux/zfs/pull/5769 Matt Ahrens approved the changes, and hopefully it'll get rolled in ZoL soon. Full disclosure, I work with Tom at Datto.
- wspeirs 9y agoYes, Brian's plan was to fold encryption into ZFS after 0.7.0. It was simply too large of a change to do in one shot.
