Hi, After upgrading to DSM 7.3.2 and the new encryption key vault, my encrypted volume is now auto-unlocked after a normal reboot (no vault password or recovery key required). It also seems impossible to fully disable t…

I’m happy to see that Synology added an option to dismount and lock volume (and folder) encryption keys on manual system reset. This should’ve been default behaviour, but at least now it’s optional. Next should be to gi…
