Ah! I've been wanting that for YEARS. Very glad to hear somebody has done it. With the common use of SSH for for moving bulk data (under rsync as well), this is a really useful idea. Of course one should think about where one is moving one's data unencrypted; but the precise cases where the performance hit of encryption will show are the safe ones, such as between my desktop and server which are plugged into the same switch; no data would leave that small LAN segment. -- David Dyer-Bennet, d...@dd-b.net; http://dd-b.net/ Snapshots: http://dd-b.net/dd-b/SnapshotAlbum/data/ Photos: http://dd-b.net/photography/gallery/ Dragaera: http://dragaera.info _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
