Hi,

 

I was following a guide in order to convert one of my drives to ZFS. It was previously XFS Encrypted.

 

I erased the disk and changed the type to ZFS Encrypted, however now when I try to format the drive, nothing happens. I've attached a screenshot of how the drive hows in my array. When I format it, it tries to format and the "Formatting devices" appears and shows "Formatting" next to the device... however this only shows briefly and then it reverts back to  "Unmountable: Volume not encrypted".

 

Any ideas on how I can re-add this drive to my array and format it? (Disk log below and Diagnostics attached)

 

Thanks

Steve

Do you have a script or something deleting /root/keyfile after array start?

Yes I do. It downloads it from the cloud, unlocks the array and starts the array, then deletes itself. 
 

do I need to disable the script to allow formatting?

Yes, Unraid cannot format an encrypted drive without the encryption key.

For anyone else that ends up here like I did. If you are following the generally accepted method for pulling a key remotely no need to disable the scripting. Just open a shell and run /usr/local/emhttp/webGui/event/starting/fetch_key after the array is started to pull down the key and then do the format drive.
