ZFS Replication and Encryption

[adamb]

Will proxmox ever be able to replicate encrypted ZFS datasets? This seems like a pretty big missing feature that isn't exactly well documented.

I have been using syncoid but it has its own set of issues that keep corrupting my ZFS datasets.

Hi I have the same questions. My ZFS datasets are encrypted can't access to replication. I know that the problem come from ZFS do you know if it will be available soon ?

You can replicate encrypted datasets with ZFS for example when using "zfs send | zfs receive" directly. As far as I know just the PVE implementation of replication can't handle them yet.

I have read about that, but it isn't in raw mode only ? (and if I understand well, very slow because in raw mode, no comparision for fast replication)

For more technical details on why it hasn't been implemented yet, check out the bug on our bugtracker: https://bugzilla.proxmox.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2350

Ok I understood Hope the ZFS team will secure the ZFS send and receive soon with encrypted dataset !
