Fastest way to FUBAR a raid 5 array?
Hi guys, I have a ReadyNas Pro 4 with 4 2TB disks in a raid 5 array. I have a hard time to find out if it is possible to use some kind of file encryption on it the way I would like it to work. Whe...
iSCSI is described here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISCSI It is a way to create a virtual disk drive on the Pro.
It is possible to encrypt that virtual drive, as described here: http://wiki.netbsd.org/tutorials/how_to ... i_devices/ I am not sure whether this approach can be adapted to the NAS (iSCSI is not a protocol I use myself). But I think it is worth investigating, and almost certainly easier than attempting to directly encrypt the NAS file system.
TrueCrypt certainly has been done on the Pro, there is a thread here: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=48384
While looking at this, I noticed an old thread on EncFS here: viewtopic.php?f=20&t=31766#p174359
