Hi folks, Anyone having any experience with putting an softraid CRYPTO partition on top of a softraid RAID 1? In terms of performance?
I'd like to build a file server that favors redundancy, availability and privacy over performance. The latter within limits though, hence my initial question. Private use only. Me, my family and ... friends. I'm planning to use 3 x 1TB drives in RAID 1. No FDE since "availability" involves the possibility of unattended booting; like after a power outage while being abroad/out of town, in which case I'd have to ssh in to the box and bioctl(8) the encrypted volume. Otherwise the PC is an old Pentium 4 3.40GHz with 3GB RAM which as of today runs fine as a file server with 2 x 500GB disks in softraid RAID 1. Sorry if my question does not belong on @misc. I've done quite some homework but could not find information pertinent to my case and would like to hear any arguments for or against before I spend many hours on copying hundres of gigabytes to potentially no avail. Regards, Erling
