This may be crazy, but has anyone used filesystem encryption (e.g. LUX)
under Gluster? Or integrated encryption with Gluster in some other way?
There's a certain demand to encrypt some of our storage, in case the
hypothetical bad guy breaks into the server room and walks out with the
servers. Is this a case where we can have encryption's advantages _or_
Gluster's? Or is there a practical way to have both?
I haven't, but given that Gluster runs on top of a standard FS, I don't
see any reason why this wouldn't work. Rather than just Gluster on top of
ext3/4/XFS, it would be Gluster on top of ext3/4/XFS on top of an
LUKS encrypted partition.
The main stumbling block I see isn't Gluster related at all, it's simply
how to do an unattended boot of a system with an encrypted partition...
