Hi,

The wikipedia article was incorrect. Encryption support is in the near future of ZFS, and we'll add it when OpenSolaris adds it.

I've corrected the wiki page as well.

As I understand it, ZFS encryption has been available since ZPOOL/ZFS version 30. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZFS#Version_numbers http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZFS#Encryption **

1. When can I expect this functionality (zpool version 30) to be available in Nexentastor?**
2. Where can I check the current zpool version in Nexentastor?
3. Is there a implementation roadmap anywhere?

Thanks! /Nilz

1. no information
2. Native shell: zpool get version NMC: show volume -v
3. No information, but you can try to ask on illumos.org forum

Encryption has been added to zfs but in Solaris 11 express no source released yet. That is supposed to be after Solaris 11 is out, then it can be added to nexenta. That is unless they decide to do it them selves based on what they know about it, but that could lead to it no longer being compatible with another zfs implementation.

Hello, is there any other way to encrypt files? Perhaps some container-format natively supported by Nexenta/Solaris? Is there a way to mount such a container in a way that is somewhat controllable via Nexenta-UI?

Thanks
