This was one of my concerns when I first encountered this trade off in Solaris zfs. That is, you claim that the Solaris zfs encryption is better in this regard but it’s not.
- mustache_kimono 4y agoWhat metadata is not encrypted? I thought it was only dataset names and their properties, which kind of makes sense?
- mgerdts 4y agoEverything outside of encrypted datasets’ data is not encrypted. This includes the things you mention as well as vdev labels, block pointers, etc. The clear text bits can tell you a fair amount about the relative age of written data and how much data is present. It will also identify which machine last imported the pool.
