@Guillawme@fediscience.org My encryption plan for my @netbsd@mastodon.sdf.org experiments is based on ZFS. Warning: plan only, I haven't tried it yet. Here are instructions:

You can't have ZFS for the root filesystem in NetBSD, so you won't have full-disk encryption. That's fine with me. I'd have nothing but public data (mostly software) on the root partition, with everything else in encrypted ZFS datasets. That's already how I work today under Linux.

@khinsen@scholar.social @Guillawme@fediscience.org Manual steps are possible for root ZFS. https://wiki.netbsd.org/root_on_zfs/
