A method, program and/or system reads first data through a first path from a location in a data storage. Second data is read through a second path from the same location in the data storage. The first data is compared to the second data. A match between the first data and the second data indicates that the first path did not encrypt the first data. A mismatch between the first data and the second data indicates that the first path encrypted the first data.

Determining whether a data storage is encrypted

A method, program and/or system reads a file through a first path from a data storage to obtain a first data. The file is read through a second path from the data storage to obtain a second data. The first data is compared to the second data. When the first data matches the second data, the file is determined not to be encrypted in the data storage. When the first data does not match the second data, the file is determined to be encrypted in the data storage.

A method, program and/or system for determining whether a data storage is encrypted. A file is written through a first path to the data storage. The file is read through a second path from the data storage. First data known to have been written in the file is compared to second data that has been read from the file. When the first data matches the second data, the first path is determined not to have encrypted the file when writing to the data storage. When the first data does not match the second data, the first path is determined to have encrypted the file when writing to the data storage.
