[Start Array greyed out after Stopping]

I actually did not try starting from the dashboard, only the array operation page.

It appears that when stopping and starting the array, it can be done from both the Dashboard and Array Operations without entering a key, once a key is entered at bootup. 

 

After a reboot, the array can be started regardless of encryption key from the dashboard. . On the Array Operation page, the array can only be started after an encryption key is set. 

 

Reopening report as it appears the behavior is not consistent and is a bug.

Okay, cool. Thanks.

 

Since it appears there is no bug and all the behavior is expected I will close the ticket. Thanks everyone for the input and guidance!

With none of my devices encrypted and the default file system sent to encrypted, would it be required to enter, and re-enter an encryption key every time I want to start the array? Is the encryption key not saved and stored after starting the array?

So as noted above and expected, entering a new passphrase did resolve the issue and allow me to start the array.

I checked the filesystem of every disk and all my disks are XFS and my cache drive is BTRFS. None of the are *-encrypted. In my disk settings, the default file system is xfs-encrypted however none of my disks are indicating they are xfs-encrypted. Should the encryption key be required just due to the default file system setting?

 

Looks like I may have to do some maintenance and encrypt my disks. However it does appear this issue is closed.

I removed the plugin as it also had issues and doesn't appear to have been updated in awhile. 

 

I do prefer to have encrypted volumes as I believe thats best practice. I will do some further investigating and update the post.

Would this passphrase not be required to start the array after a fresh restart or if using the power menu to start the array? I have never entered a passphrase. Admittedly I do not know much about the encryption ability however I would expect the start array option to function the same regardless how it is initiated or when.

 

I just preformed a fresh restart and although the start was greyed out under array operations, using the red circle button in top right and selecting start array successfully started the array as expected.
