ZoL / ZFS Encryption

[pricklypunter]

Does ZoL support encryption natively? I am using ZoL with Debian 8, does anyone have a link to a good guide on how to implement an encrypted ZVol? Or feel free to spill the beans here

ZFS on Linux with LUKS encrypted disks | make then make install

LUKS encryption for raw devices is your best bet

I don't have any experience with LUKS, so forgive the newbie questions
Does this mean that to do this, I would need to destroy my existing pool, install and configure LUKS, then re-create my pool on top? Also, does that then mean that my entire pool is encrypted rather than just a selected ZVol?

You can do it both ways. Here is another example but this time an unencrypted pool, create zvol encrypt zvol.

Thanks for that

Did anyone try the above, and can report on performance?
