Unraid required encryption phrase/file to start array?

[Blaze9]

Hey guys,

 

I just upgraded my unraid license to PRO since I added in my 13-15th drives. 

 

Once I configured the new array, it said Configuration valid, but START was grayed out. Under start it said in red font to enter a new passphrase for encryption.

 

Is this something required now? I never setup encryption before, and never entered a phrase/file. I just made an insecure decryption file, and used that for now, and everything is working as it was before I added in the new drives (all data/dockers/VMs present).I haven't had the chance to restart yet to see if the encryption was actually set... 

 

I'm on 6.8.3 incase that was needed.

 

Thanks!

Check that the default filesystem (settings -> disk settings) is not set to an encrypted one.

Yup, this was the thing. It says xfs - encrypted for some reason. I might have changed it to that a while ago but forgot about it. Set it to regular xfs and deleted my passkey and we're all good now! Thank you
