ReadyNAS 6.1 volume encryption
From Netgear website, Volume based Encryption is a new features in ReadyNAS OS 6.1. http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/23785 Does anyone know how to do it? I cannot find anywhere I c...
Just to be sure: on a new system (in my case, a 316 with 3 4TB drive), is it possible to initialize the system with an encrypted volume and x-raid-2?
Right now, my system is formatting the drives for the first time. I'll let this complete, if nothing else to be sure the drives are OK. Then, to get an encrypted volume, do I:
- put a flash drive in the unit to hold the encryption key
-turn off x-raid
-delete the volume
-create a new volume, with encryption enabled.
-Wait however many hours it takes to create the volume and format it?
-turn x-raid back on
Will I now have full x-raid functionality, as well as an encrypted volume?
also, anyone know what the performance hit from encryption is?
Thanks, all!
