* Make sure to include the `-part4` portion of the drive path. If you forget that, you are specifying the whole disk, which ZFS will then re-partition, and you will lose the bootloader partition(s).
**Hints:**
* If you are doing a mirror or raidz topology, create the pool using `zpool create ... rpool mirror /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-SATA_disk1-part4 /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-SATA_disk2-part4` (or replace `mirror` with `raidz`, `raidz2`, or `raidz3` and list the partitions from additional disks).

* The pool name is arbitrary. On systems that can automatically install to ZFS, the root pool is named `rpool` by default. If you work with multiple systems, it might be wise to use `hostname`, `hostname0`, or `hostname-1` instead.

Unencrypted does not encrypt anything, of course. All ZFS features are fully available. With no encryption happening, this option naturally has the best performance.
LUKS encrypts almost everything: the OS, swap, home directories, and anything else. The only unencrypted data is the bootloader, kernel, and initrd. The system cannot boot without the passphrase being entered at the console. All ZFS features are fully available. Performance is good, but LUKS sits underneath ZFS, so if multiple disks (mirror or raidz configurations) are used, the data has to be encrypted once per disk.
