Hi,
I'd like to remove the GELI prompt/functionality from
a root-on-zfs system. How can I do this without re-initialising
the whole system? It's not a redundant array - it's just one disk.
There are some methods turning up in a search, but from years ago,
and zfs is a fast-moving target. They're all using redundant
arrays in their examples.
What I'm after is the latest approved/proper method to remove GELI
from the booted, unlocked, single-disk zfs system. Is this possible
in-situ?
Nope. One way or another you will need to copy the entire disk. You can't
just remove the encryption sector-by-sector.
Oh well :D thanks for the clarification
