Thread starter mgd Start date Dec 25, Joined Jan 8, Messages I have an encrypted pool mirror of two WD RED drives with no passphrase set, which allows the pool to be unlocked and mounted automatically when the NAS server boots.

I am aware of the dangers of having an encrypted pool and chose to have one in order to be able to RMA a faulty drive without worrying about someone being able to read my data. I am currently running FreeNAS The question is how to correctly do the reinstall. The GELI key for the encrypted pool. Proposed procedure These are the steps I believe are necessary to do the migration to the new mirrored SSD boot device.

Reconnect the storage disks to the system. This will reboot the system. We could unlock the pool here, but the key will not persist on the system. I guess that should be it.

Is this right? I have tried the procedure out in a VM and it seems to work. I also tried to simply unlock the pool in step 5. The only way I could find out to put the encryption key on the boot device is by exporting and reimporting the pool so that's is the reason for all the steps under 5.

I would be to sad to discover that I have overlooked something and that I have lost all my data after the reinstall, so I would be really grateful if someone more knowledgeable than me could confirm whether these are the right steps. I think this information is not valid for modern SSD machines. Have a question or suggestion? Please leave a comment to start the discussion.
