What about the GELI-tools for disk-encryption? Disk encrpytion is very important for all kinds of setups from portable to file-server. I know both many Debianers and many FreeBSD-users that encrypt all their systems and would not use an OS that doesn't provide disk-encryption. Kernel-Support is already there, only the tools are missing (which is only the "geli" command actually). Geli has very good performance (hardware accelerated if available) and is file system agnostic. That means the FreeBSD-kernel is the only kernel that provides stable ZFS+encryption. That might make Debian GNU/kFreeBSD appeal to more people (and I could use it on my Laptop ;) )! Thanks, Hannes > > Or, what would it take to do it?
