Morne Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 Hi Guys been using Unraid for many Years but i need to ask if nobody have asked. Please ad drive encryption to the list. I have 6 drives but non is encrypted and taking or moving all the data of the drive just to encrypt the drives well that will take forever. would be nice to have a plugin or native support to get the drive encrypted Thanks.

JorgeB Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 Drive encryption has been available for a long time, since v6.4 IIRC. Quote Link to comment
Morne Posted April 29, 2022 Author Share Posted April 29, 2022 Thanks for the reply. But if i need do enable the drive encryption you need to moved data of the drive. Or am i incorrect. Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 Yes, sorry, missed that part, current encryption implementation requires re-formatting the device. Quote Link to comment

However I do not think there are any plans to implement ‘in-place’ encryption (or even if it is technically possible) 1 Quote Link to comment
-Daedalus Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 If I remember right, Tom had mentioned looking into it, around the time of release originally. Haven't heard anything about it since though. 1 Quote Link to comment
Morne Posted April 29, 2022 Author Share Posted April 29, 2022 It would be nice . I can encrypt my Windows hard drive with data on , but i do understand that Unraid is not Windows. Quote Link to comment

Unraid (linux LUKS) encrypts the whole drive. Not possible to do in place encryption without significant risk to all the data on the drive. https://securedmind.com/post/how-to-encrypt-a-disk-in-place-with-luks/ 1 Quote Link to comment
