Lock pool over shell

[xpeddax]

Hello,
a generell question: Do I have to lock the raid-z pools before shutdown? Or is it suggested? If so, is there a way to do it over the shell with a code?

Thanks for help
Peter

What do you mean by "lock the raid-z pools"? I'm pretty sure the answers are no, no, and no.

What do you mean by "lock"? On clean shutdown, the caches are al flushed and the pool is dismounted just like any other filesystem.

I have a raid-z pool which is encryped. Before I´m shutting I´m able to lock it (when i log into freenas over the browser), is it necessary to lock/encryped the harddrivest before the pool gets unmounted on shutdown?

which is encryped.

Ah, that would have been relevant to have mentioned in the OP. But still: No, you don't need to; no, it isn't suggested; no, there isn't a (simple) way to do it from the shell.

okay that is really good to know. Because I wrote a script to decryped the pool (where I found lots of information in threads), but didnt find any code to lock it and was wondering. But makes it of course easier. Thanks for the help!
