Can anyone tell me the scenario(s) under which the passphrase would need to be re-entered in order to "unlock" an xfs encrypted drive. I have tried rebooting, powering off, powering off and disconnecting the drive's USB connection and every time I reboot, the drive mounts in UD and can be read on the network. 

 

I have a similar setup on OMV but moving everything to Unraid. On OMV the drive has to be "unlocked" after any reboot, which I thought was the point.

 

Thanks

 

 

1) Are you sure it's actually encrypted? 

 

2) Do you have other drives in the array that are encrypted with the same passphrase/file? --- If yes, Unraid [most likely] automatically tries to mount the drive with the existing passphrase.   You would need to start your array and then remove the passphrase/keyfile before mounting the UD.

I found a thread here about my concerns https://github.com/dlandon/unassigned.devices/issues/53

 

So 1) yes it is encrypted but unraid stores the password and if you click mount then it mounts. 2) No, just that encrypted unassigned USB drive.

 

If the disk alone gets stolen then that's fine but what if the server and disk were stolen?
