Hello,
I would like to protect the data stored on the drives in the case I have to RMA them. I'm not trying to protect from the thief of the NAS. So I'm thinking about using drive encryption without passphrase (so, the drive will mount automatically at boot).
So I read the doc. I understand the importance to keep a copy of the encryption key and of the recovery key in a safe location. Everything seem good until I read the section about the encrypted drive replacement.
The documentation say to make sure a passphrase has been set. Why? Is it important only for the replacement procedure (so I could just set a temporary passphrase before the drive replacement and removing it after) or this is a general recommendation against using drive encryption without passphrase?
Thank you!
