That's not zfs encryption, that's "just" encryption (ed: with zfs on top). (open) Zfs now has native encryption: https://github.com/zfsonlinux/zfs/releases/tag/zfs-0.8.0 https://github.com/zfsonlinux/zfs/releases/tag/zfs-0.8.0 (ed: there are some potential benefits to zfs encryption - it's as cross platform as zfs (encrypt an USB drive, use on Linux, os x, windows, freebsd). Zfs send/receive - receiver can take your encrypted backup - key doesn't have to travel. Mount drives across dual boot - share encrypted /home between dual boot windows and Linux? Not sure - but I think volume encryption is supported too. Might simplify encrypted swap (if you already "pay" for zfs). Note: there are apparently some issues with swap on zfs (volumes at least, possibly files too) If you don't need suspend/resume - suppose you could share one encrypted swap volume across multiboot environments..) )
