Re: Reg: Filesystem level encryption support for postgreSQL

Indeed. When I read the question I also thought of something like VeraCrypt (ex TrueCrypt). Any solution specific for postgres would NOT be at "filesystem level".

But you said "i need to implement Filesystem level encryption".  That's not specific to PostgreSQL.

I'm working on an environment that is using Hytrust.   Other than taking a long time encrypt the disk there have been no issues at all.

FYI encryption of a 1Tb mount takes approx. 12 hours.  We had to decrypt at one point and that effort was about the same as an encrypt. 

Storage admins owned this not the DBA.
