Encryption / hfs+ sparseimage and ZFS

Post by nickmay » Sun Nov 11, 2012 8:44 pm

Hello,

I like ZFS. I like encryption. As I understand it, I can't currently encrypt my ZFS formatted disks.

Question:

Is using an hfs+ encrypted sparseimage disk image on a ZFS formatted disk providing any benefit over just writing directly to a FileVault2 encrypted hfs+ disk?

Are there any other ways I can use encryption with this version of ZFS?

Many thanks for any insights you may have...

By coincidence I discussed encryption, albeit briefly, yesterday in the #illumos channel on IRC.
