i'm trying to encrypt my external hard drive and am following the guide at https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/disks-encrypting.html with UFS, i have no problems creating the filesystem. all works as expected. however, i wanted to use ZFS instead: when i type "zpool create backup /dev/da0p1.bde" the CPU usage goes through the roof (system CPU according to top), and eventually the whole computer becomes unresponsive and locks up. i've tried it multiple times with the same results. # gpart show da0 => 40 7814037088 da0 GPT (3.6T) 40 7814037080 1 freebsd-zfs (3.6T) 7814037120 8 - free - (4.0K) # dmesg | grep da0 da0 at umass-sim0 bus 0 scbus9 target 0 lun 0 da0: <TOSHIBA MD04ACA400 0> Fixed Direct Access SCSI-6 device da0: Serial Number X4RGK50ZFSBA da0: 40.000MB/s transfers da0: 3815447MB (7814037168 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 486401C) da0: quirks=0x2<NO_6_BYTE>
Created attachment 150790 [details] picture of the error so i'm currently using UFS. i had to restart the PC, however i received the following error message (see the attached picture).
