Encryption

[Fab Sidoli]

Hi All,

I'm trying to determine if I have encryption set on my disks.

I set a global SED password is System -> Advanced. I then used the 'sedhelper setup password' command to apply that to my disks.

This seemed to work but I would like to verify this.

Interestingly, the following link implies that I should see a menu option under Storage -> View Disks called 'Password for SED', which I don't see as a menu item in the dropdown.

"Disks that have a configured password will show bullets in their row of the Password for SED column of Storage → View Disks. Conversely, the rows in that column will be empty for disks that do not support SED or which will be unlocked using the global password."

Getting Started

This configuration guide provides step-by-step tutorials for installing and setting up TrueNAS CORE.

How do I verify that my drives are now encrypted?

Also, is drive encryption preferably to pool encryption. I feel the former will give better performance.

Thanks,
Fab

Also, once I've put in the SED global password I seem to be able to just click the view button to see what this is. This seems like a bit of a flaw to me.

Hi all. Is the above a bug or is the global SED password supposed to be visible when you click the view button?
