Do you use disk encryption? I've released a new version of cryptreboot, a tool for rebooting a Linux system with an encrypted disk that asks for the passphrase to unlock the disk before the reboot, rather than after as in case of normal reboot. This can be useful when rebooting remote or headless systems, where entering the passphrase typically requires local access. The entire process is handled using an in-memory initramfs patching, ensuring that secrets are handled securely and never touch the disk. Version 0.3.0 now includes native support for ZFS encryption. I'm planning to add more features, including passphrase-less reboots, which would be particularly beneficial for desktop users. If you'd like to try cryptreboot, here's a link. And if you've already tried it, I'd love to hear your feedback! https://phantomno.de/cryptreboot
