As I'm planning to use zfs / geli combination on a raid z2 with 12 harddisks I don't really want to enter the passphrase 12 times (it's no 24/7 server)
So I'm planning to use the passphrase as key - I know that I need a reasonably long passphrase (50+)
my idea is at the moment
after geli init done in the same way of course .....
Are there any security related issues - besides having to use a real good passphrase and possible attacks while the script is running - in doing this?
