    When other illumos consumers upstream their driver work, they flow
    back into OI.

    There is a new OI association and hopefully it will become a vehicle
    to crowdsource more development that can be upstreamed to illumos.

    On FreeBSD, ZFS is default. Sadly, it doesn't support booting from
    encrypted datasets.

    What is the advantage of encrypted root datasets over root pool
    on geli(8)?

    I've tried Solaris on x86 in virtualbox just for fun. But that was all,
    as I do not have a license.

    Solaris also runs on bhyve(8).

    In case of RAID, it only needs to encrypt the files once, as the
    encryption layer of ZFS encrypts the content one time and writes it to
    multiple disks.
