Dont like the USB-KEy Method, because you have to be pyhsically there. I have one Server in a Company, and dont want to drive there after a Power Loss or something like this. FreeNas supports Encrpytion maybe copy them Cant use Containers. You cant create a Container bigger then you smallest drive, i think so? So i need to create 8 containers and copy the shares all over them? naah. With a VM Between, i can go like now. ESXI, one FreeNas and one windows. The last one you mention is possible, but to "hard" for my folk

Encryption is the only thing, why i didnt change to Unraid. In the moment Iam using another Software, which Pools Drives and do the parity. This Software works under Windows. So basically, when my Server starts, the Server starts and writes Paraty when things are written. I then remote into the Server and write my Passwort in DiskCryptor. Then i manually start the "Array Pool". Works fine. The cool thing is, i dont have to Encrypt everthing, just the one "Array Pool". I have 2 Array Pools. One with privat things and one with Servers (Teamspeak, Bonjour, Bitcoin, my Surveillance Software and so on) which have to Start immedialty after Start from WIndows and cant wait for me to decrpyt them first. Everthing with only one parity drive. If more then one drive would failed, i could (tried it) take the others disk and could decrypt them with DiskCryptor on another Windows. Please do something similar: After the Server has to restarted, you can start the "privat" array via WebInterface with the right Password. VM´s can start instantly. I would like to go away from the Windows Solution, because evertime i need an Windows Update or a new Porgramm is installed, i had to restart and i needed to decrypt again and start the array. I think a Linux Based Solution is more robust.
