Maybe better, for <https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-doc/blob/main/documentation/content/en/books/handbook/bsdinstall/_index.adoc#6-allocating-disk-space>: > * Auto (UFS) uses UFS for the file system within the system partition. > > * … > > * … > > * Auto (ZFS) uses ZFS for file systems within the system partition. > > The two automatic options allow use of GELI (not ZFS) to encrypt swap and > system partitions. For more information about GELI, see … – and bring forward the 'more info' blurb that's currently under <https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-doc/blob/main/documentation/content/en/books/handbook/bsdinstall/_index.adoc#64-guided-partitioning-using-root-on-zfs>. ---- <https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-doc/blob/main/documentation/content/en/books/handbook/bsdinstall/_index.adoc#85-add-users> should include something like this: > If you intend to use OpenZFS encryption for any user's home directory, > refrain from adding the user at this stage. From <https://openzfs.github.io/openzfs-docs/man/8/zfs-load-key.8.html#Encryption>: > … Creating an encrypted dataset requires specifying the encryption and keyformat properties > at creation time, … – at, not after. The installer uses adduser(8), which does not yet support this. <https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=adduser&sektion=8&manpath=FreeBSD> (In reply to Graham Perrin from comment #1) Do the ZFS parts also apply to pre-OpenZFS releases, that is 12.x? (In reply to PauAmma from comment #2) I believe so. Someone else might like to confirm. (In reply to Graham Perrin from comment #3) … the port of OpenZFS can be installed on FreeBSD 12.⋯ (In reply to Graham Perrin from comment #4) I meant the ZFS in base r12, which IIRC isn't OpenZFS. |
