July 16, 20187 yr Hi all, I'm in the process of encrypting all my drives, but I've become stuck. Following SpaceInvaderOne's video, I get as far as removing the drive assignments and re-assigning the drives. I left the one disk I want to reformat unassigned, and it shows in the unassigned devices list so far so good. Where I'm stuck is that the step to remove the partition is is not available to me, in the video, there is a red X to delete the partition - I can't see this. Any help here would be great! I'm using unRaid 6.5.3 The video -- 8min 3sec

Thank you! I've got it encrypting now. One last quick question, will I still have to shift any data from a drive to be encrypted off that drive first before changing the file system encryption from XFS to XFS encrypted? I'm assuming I should move the data off anyway, but I did wonder if inplace encryption was a thing now.

January 22, 20197 yr im stuick at the same thing. i cant find a option to enable descrution. I choose a new standard filesystem, still there is no red X to delete. If i click the drive, i cant change the filesystem.. iam pretty lost. edit: found the setting.. in UD Edited January 22, 20197 yr by nuhll
