cogliostro Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 Hi guys, is it possible to encrypt the array at an later moment ? Quote Link to comment
tjb_altf4 Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 I believe LT was looking at encrypting in situ, but currently not possible. You'll have to add new drive(s) and shuffle your data across drives if you want to do it at the moment. Quote Link to comment

Chrysen Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 It´s posible to encrypt a Array later. you can use unbalace plugin to copy all data from disk 1 to your other disks, and then encrypt disk 1... Quote Link to comment

Yes, the drive doesn't need to be freshly added to the array. Just copy off the data before reformatting it with an encrypted option. Quote Link to comment
