September 5, 20178 yr I have a collision of two needs. I love unRAID because in a failure (system itself or drives) I can mount and access the drives from unRAID in Windows box. Using XFS Explorer, R-studio, FTK Imager, XWays, etc, depending on the filesystem, I can get to and recover data. I can also recover data from damaged drives with my forensic software/hardware such as a PC-3000 controller. I also have wanted native encryption in unRAID for a long time. But encryption with LUKS/dm-crypt complicates the ability to do disaster recovery. I would have preferred TrueCrypt or Veracrypt because of the widespread support, but cest la vie. Plan B is always boot up Linux, mount the drive with the passphrase, and make a dd image. This takes (potentially a lot of) time and another hard drive. Time is usually short in a disaster recovery. The vast world of forensic recovery software is almost exclusively Windows, particularly the "good" stuff. So I wanted to start a thread to collect ideas on how to more quickly access encrypted unRAID disks on a Windows box. As of now, I have not tested anything, but have found some candidates: LibreCrypt https://github.com/t-d-k/LibreCrypt FreeOTFE http://download.cnet.com/FreeOTFE/3000-2092_4-10656559.html (no longer maintained) Any other suggestions?
