OpenZFS 2.0 release unifies Linux, BSD and adds tons of new features reddit / BSD ---------------------------------------------------------------------- toolooselowtrack · 2020-12-28 18:41 I am running it for four weeks with native encryption on a FreeBSD 13 as a data backup storage with large files. Seems stable, no problems. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- qci · 2020-12-28 23:26 Nice. FreeBSD 13.0 is planned for March 23rd, btw. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- gehenna-jezebel · 2020-12-29 04:42 Oh holy shit, ive been waiting a minute for this, gonna start playing with this! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ANDROID_16 · 2020-12-29 08:24 It will come with 13 but I believe you can install it from ports now too. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- cynix · 2020-12-29 14:44 Is there any official/recommended migration path from geli to native encryption? Or should I not bother? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- toolooselowtrack · 2020-12-29 17:21 I don’t know, was my first attempt. I had chosen the new way instead of geli cs it’s imho more future compatible. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- allan_jude · 2020-12-30 18:33 There is an article about this in the FreeBSD Journal (March/April 2020 edition) [https://issue.freebsdfoundation.org/publication/?m=33057&i=660151&p=1 5](https://issue.freebsdfoundation.org/publication/?m=33057&i=660151&p =15) Basically: FreeBSD's boot loader doesn't support booting from ZFS encrypted pools yet. ZFS encryption is also a bit different than GELI, and it depends on your use case which will serve you better. Easiest ways to get away from GELI is to 'zpool replace' each disk with the non-GELI'd version, one at a time. However you encrypt data you need to rewrite it, so send/recv to a new pool might make more sense. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- cynix · 2020-12-31 00:20 Hi, thanks for the response and the link! That was very informative. Lack of bootloader support notwithstanding, I think I’m forced to stay on GELI anyway because I don’t have spare storage available for a send/recv, and replacing each disk in a large raidz2 pool sounds too time consuming. Not that there’s anything wrong with GELI — been a happy user for years :)
