    ZFS encryption happened after Oracle, and last time I checked, no one had
    built something similar in Illumos.

    You can use lofiadm with encryption to build block devices, and then build
    your zpool out of those. That's what I did the last time I needed disk
    encryption.

    I think I referenced
    https://blogs.oracle.com/darren/entry/encrypting_zfs_pools_using_lofi , but
    it's been a while.
