[QUOTE="cmmpsantos, post: 1895080, member: 348734"] Hi there I've created an encrypted partition to store my personal data and documents like I did on my Linux desktop. On Linux, I was able to hide the partition from Dolphin (Plasma KDE) and I created a script to mount the partition when I want to read/write data. On my Mac Mini (2012) with Catalina, the partition is also hidden from Finder but, whenever I login, a dialog pops up to unlock the disk (partition) by entering the password. I don't want this behaviour at all. If the partition was set to be a safe and secure partition for my personal files, I want to be able to mount it only when I desire. For instance, by using Disk Utility to mount it or by a script, just like I did on Linux. Is there anyway to disable this dialog window on login? [/QUOTE]
