Hi
im new to OMV so im not sure if this has been discussed earlier. The search function doesnt show me any usefull results related to this.
Up to now im using my old Synology NAS but i would like to switch. Synology has a nice feature which allows encrypted folders and not only complete volumes, like QNAP does. They use ecryptfs . Using
it is possible to install and use this
root@nas04:/mnt/vol1# ecryptfsd
root@nas04:/mnt/vol1# ecryptfs-setup-private
Enter your login passphrase [root]:
Enter your mount passphrase [leave blank to generate one]:
************************************************************************
YOU SHOULD RECORD YOUR MOUNT PASSPHRASE AND STORE IT IN A SAFE LOCATION.
ecryptfs-unwrap-passphrase ~/.ecryptfs/wrapped-passphrase
THIS WILL BE REQUIRED IF YOU NEED TO RECOVER YOUR DATA AT A LATER TIME.

after relogin the folder is present.
But thats not what im looking for. It would be good to have this as an option for shared folder creation with the option to store the key on an attached USB drive.
Why ? In case a HD is defect and you can no longer wipe the HD and the information on this HD will be available to the manufactorer of the HD.
And this is something i personally dont like.
Are there any plans to include this in the future ?
