I have been looking for a ZFS-based NAS solution with encryption support. FreeNAS is a good solution, and it seems to work well, but it is based on FreeBSD which currently only offers support for ZFS v28. I was curious about using the latest ZFS version which has native encryption as one of its features, which lead me to consider using napp-it.
However, I'm not quite clear on which version I should use. My NAS hardware is a HP N40L Microserver. I saw that there is a pre-build USB image to use with the Microserver, but it seems to be based on IllumOS (not Solaris 11), so is it limited to ZFS v28 (with no encryption?). The reason I am confused is that the napp-it website mentions encryption being available with any Solaris-based OS (not just Solaris 11).
