Yes, this way one gets stuck somehow with ZFSonLinux. btrfs also does not yet support encryption ... I assume that will come over the time, I don't know if this is still correct: https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Project_ideas#Encryption But the features available already are great ... https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Main_Page#Features ;-) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJTdgyvAAoJEClcuD1V0PzmtWsQAIzyrvFT7gp6WblJi3tXtiDN pj/o4mVLGfQ99jT4eyEi3W3mTs6z1dnLk2tfg5PRmI+tAkV4Y/M/AQ4oKuRWqYGo zK6NFREqTQJlwRvHW1dZAWmOA0Jn2IRqPhfr6Q5ZoBMKhVJhS6zqjTvtxQc7qVwr TZCmkCtBHp8OY/lYD2wZpvqVYjZFcKDvtIXPEwGFCwoeQvn0QcYvdVGWTWe5kCvN JwC3ry6UlKXscqfwTUqqio6vcyxgpr0Pqun908oE0XT0UeIhySB2l6eVVgHc6I4S t5tIOngeqOEaIECchjmkuhau8lkQGUIZyIuzHqi/36TBmiWitHx91FrhONbj1TC7 qQywCcf0oRamBzelYGywqLPmH7Gjh0OXV9eXRNDCeyd5WXOPqBPxdR7jGLNX9G/Z vbD7jiPHOu/DyY96Ks/RiHkiFtfG2pzMivRF8Vu5pUf8H6KmLShm71yOGf+AsxtE BLDR2t1ibscd6FHlZ6kDQHkdDMf4wssDzP2ASiH8Std5vFVSJyNGC4VNkHSkNzLP JTFLAI6Q1hy5k6GkleioVNGVaMQCp09L8aY5pCherAAN+wE2POEyx0z3eHIK3Cxg m1AQWJVOIn7+ykBwJkLF4NgJEDGQ9L4J6GR0rUA+i6/x0nvUiizKPCeNdTv9O4Of GaoiLnwuetJaCLIzDnhY =MTN5 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
