There seems to be a bit of open (and rather old) ZFS native encryption bugs which still haven't been fixed and it doesn't look like it is something that is being working on. Last night I was going to move some important files from an unencrypted dataset to a new encrypted (ZFS native) one, but then got my doubts about doing that (looking at all the different open GitHub issues on OpenZFS). There exist some rumors about the original company which did the ZFS native encryption work (the person doing the work left the company), and they haven't done more since. What is the general experience running with ZFS native encryption on FreeBSD? Is it better to use GELI for the whole pool instead? Thanks. Kind regards.
