One of the worst things to happen to a business or even a home user is to have their data stolen. As it stand, if someone were to steal a FreeNAS box, the perpetrator could gain access to the data if it had been setup to store the encryption key on the server. Sure, you can make it password protected, but then that defeats the ability for the box to come up after a power loss.
The solution I can see to cover in this area would be the ability for the FreeNAS unit to sftp into a website, log the IP address it is reporting from (i.e. might require using an outside source to see the internet ip) and then access the encryption key in order to open the ZVol.
Does this sound feasible and a possible good idea? It's similar to what 'Lookout', 'Where's My Android', and Apple do for cell phones in case of loss / theft.
