18.12c (Okt 23,2018)
This is a community enhancement from Chris Fraire:
To honor this, PoeF management will be a function of napp-it Free

    Secure PoeF folder as 0755 and pool(info|options).txt as 0644.
    Allow setting up and using a napp-it PKCS keystore for PoeF keys, with backward compatibility for PoeFs that use pool-specific keys.
    Add form to enable changing the PW of the napp-it PKCS keystore.
    Add form to enable extending a PKCS-keystore PoeF with additional vdevs.
    When creating or extending a PoeF and using 2GB files, limit vdev size so that larger pools will be composed, if necessary, of multiple vdevs. This increases redundancy at the cost of space. Previously, the redundancy would be only two 2GB files regardless of pool size. Now for large pools it will be (effectively) two 2GB files of parity for every ten 2GB files of data.
    Update en documentation of pools_encrypt*.txt

    Continue to default to AES-256 but allow choosing AES-128 for speed.
    Offer 12GB and 40GB pools, which size evenly with raidz2-2GB compared to 10GB and 50GB.
    Allocate all files before any lofiadm-add. If allocation or lofiadm-add fails, then remove entire, new $pool directory.
    Explicitly Expect /dev/lofi/xxx names from lofiadm output.
    Use MB for 10% sizing now that 12GB is an option (because "1.2G" is not allowed as an argument).
    Extract poeflib.pl to share logic among action.pl scripts.
    Move vdev-sizing into poeflib function, poef_calc_vdevs.
    Add pkcslib.
