I just browsed ZFS Administration.
The manual clearly says one can encrypt the filesystem (aggregate) using
zfsadm encrypt command - that's what is suggested in other places.
However it is also possible to create new ZFS (VSAM) dataset using
IDCAMS DEFINE CLUSTER KEYLABEL.
That means, the dataset content will be encrypted.
Q: what about format with -encrypt option - is it another encryption at
the filesystem level?
Note: your "regular" ZFS can be encrypted using zfsadm command or
formatted (new one) using format command. No need to create encrypted
VSAM cluster.
And something interesting: Encrypted datasets have to be SMS-managed,
however ZFS need not to be.
