Lock FreeBSD partitions

M

Hi all. I want to lock my partitions using geli or gbde, but I want that after boot users aren't forced to enter the passphrase. In other words the partitions are locked but it seems that they aren't locked. I need it for security that if any one tries to mount partitions by CD or flash they can't do it.

Thanks.
 
I don't think it is possible, and I don't think it is a good security way of handling encryption. What you can do is to store the key file on a removable media and remove the media when you need to be sure your disks will not be accessible.

Can you help me? What should I do for my security that the user can't mount my partitions and can't access the partitions?

Encryption is the right way to go, simply I don't think removing the passphrase will protect you.
