I've been using it on Arch Linux since mid-2017, and it's amazing. Much easier and more flexible to set up than LUKS/GELI. I hope FreeBSD will get Datto's encryption soon when they switch to ZoF (their ZoL fork)

Here is the FreeBSD announcement of their move to ZoL. https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2018-December/072422.html https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2018-Dec...

That much easier than typing "geli init", and "zpool create"? :)

  No, it's not easier but it's vastly more convenient and flexible. You can encrypt each dataset with different keys, and ZFS allows you to unlock them on import or whenever you want to. You can send and receive them while encrypted. Also ZFS encryption means that I can finally encrypt external HDDs that I share between Linux and FreeBSD without having to resort to ugly hacks.

Where can I find more about Datto's work on encryption?
