QNAP encryption requires either (a) storing the encryption key in the NAS or (b) manually unlocking encrypted volumes via the web interface after each reboot. Option (a) provides almost zero security (it only helps if someone steals your disks but not your NAS). Option (b) is a pain. This PR provides python bindings to allow remote unlocking by, for example, a script on a remote PC.
@mdhorda I don't know if you are still maintaining this repo but thought I'd raise the PR anyway.
