I have 2 pools with passphrases and I can't unlock them. I get "Error Unlocking" on the new UI and "MiddlewareError: Volume could not be imported: 2 devices failed to decrypt]" on the legacy UI.

I've tried upgrading from 11.1-U6 but it failed as always (I've an issue with a Microserver Gen8) so I installed a fresh copy of 11.2-RC2 and restored the config file. Everything seems to be in order except for this.

EDIT: so, I've used the recovery keys to unlock the volumes and they worked. Then I've rekeyed the pools. It still looks like a problem though.

Be sure to backup all the new keys.

Also, be aware that the main key requires a passphrase, whereas the recovery key does not. Otherwise, they're equally as good.
