February 28, 20197 yr So, I recently picked up a few 10TB drives, so I'm expanding my array quite significantly for the first time in a while. This seems like a good time to begin adding encrypted drives to my array, if I decide to do such a thing. I'd love to hear feedback from people who have used it. Are there any got'chas? Is there any reason not to do this? I'm not sure exactly what I'll use as a key - whether it's a file on my local network, or just a passphrase (can this be changed after the fact without having to wipe drives? - but I'd like to hear some general opinions really. Does it present any problems for accessing a single drive physically connected to a Windows machine, for example? Is there a performance penalty? Should this be done to cache pool as well? Any other pain points that people didn't expect? Thanks in advance!
March 3, 20197 yr Author Ok, since this hasn't really gotten any feedback, let me distil it down to my most important question at the moment: Can I change my passphrase/keyfile (or switch from one to the other) later on, without having to reformat any disks?
