Securing data on partitions/volumes

[sparkie7]

i usually partition up my 1TB drivers into say 4 partitions, 1 for sys/apps, 1 for data, etc..

how do i password protect the partitions that don't have a system/boot on them?

OSX (using SL, not Lion) only allows for password protected login on the boot partition, so how about the other partitions? as they automatically mount!

-- any advice appreciated

I have not used this myself, but I know people who use TrueCrypt.

thanks, i have heard of this. i'll need to do some reading..

wonder if there's a simpler software option, but maybe this is it..
