I have two unencrypted, bit-identical storages with erasure coding – call them A and B
I’d like to (1) encrypt them and (2) change the erasure coding ratio
My plan is:
- Remove/reset storage B and re-init as encrypted and copy-compatible with A, with the new erasure coding
- Copy from A to B
- Verify B works with a test restore
Once verified, repeat in reverse with bit-identical:
- Remove/reset storage A and re-init as encrypted (with the same password) and bit-identical copy-compatible with B, with the new erasure coding
- Copy from B to A
- Verify A works with a test restore
Which should (I hope) give me two encrypted, bit-identical storages with the new erasure coding ratio.
Any obvious flaws in that plan?
