[QUOTE="Joolz34, post: 145034"] My problem is that Ive recently been unlucky and had a notebook stolen, and I lost alot of the data on it, luckily Id only done a backup two days before, but the point is that I still lost something. The other issue is that anyone could take the drive out of that notebook, connect it as a spare and then have a look at the contents. Some of my passwords etc I had in an encrypted database on there, but anything can be cracked if someone has the time and patience. Im hoping in this case they wont and they'll just format the drive. Still its made me paranoid, and so on the powerbook when it comes, Id like to make sure that certain files which I consider sensitive are secure. Thanks for the terminal command, but its not 100% clear to me how you specify the password in that command. I can see the volume name, size, type, file system etc, but not a password, is that added once its created? The only good thing actually that came from having the notebook stolen is that it was taken from work and so they had to refund me, which has enabled me to finally get a powerbook :) [/QUOTE]
