Won't let me not encrypt

[nationalism]

Why does GEOM_ELI show "Encryption: AES-XTS 256, Crypto: software" when I create a new volume, despite specifically NOT checking the encryption box?

Swap partitions are encrypted by default.

Are you sure it's not this you're seeing?

Where are you seeing this? During boot? If so, then you are just seeing the swap partitions as the other poster has indicated.

OK, thanks for clearing that up, wish that was documented elsewhere.

 

[titan_rw]

It is. Multiple threads on the forum, and page 117 of the FreeNAS manual states:

Swap is always encrypted, even on unencrypted volumes.

That's true, and I found that when I googled, but from the console output itself (or from googling it,) there's no indication that it's the swap partition that GEOM_ELI is declaring as encrypted, and not the partition itself. Either way, thanks for the help.

Eh, there is if you're familiar enough with BSD and what it means when it says ada0p1 as opposed to just ada0. But yeah it's not terribly clear in and of itself. Granted that just means partition 1 as opposed to partition 2, which with FreeNAS ada0p1 will be swap and ada0p2 will be data.

But it's probably not a terribly large priority as most people aren't going to be watching all that boot up unless there is a reason to be watching it, be that something wrong, or just after performing a version update.

Heh, at least it isn't as confusing as the place where it spits out a line that says nothing but "fork trampoline"

Wait haha what is fork trampoline? I haven't seen that.
