First, gbde and geli encrypt block devices. FS's may live on such a block device and then be encrypted, but then again so could swap. FreeBSD also supports http://wiki.freebsd.org/PEFS through the ports system and this is actually an encrypted filesystem. Additionally I prefer geli over gbde since it supports a wider variety of feature and is perhaps more secure. See the corresponding handbook and man pages for details. -- Adam
