There certainly is. In the past I have used GEOM Based Disk Encryption (GBDE), because my computer had already been partitioned I used GBDE in combination with mdconfig (created a 2g file with dd, used mdconfig to configure it as a device, then ran disklabel and newfs on the md and set it up with GBDE). This was using 5.1 at the time and it ran extremely well, the only problem I ever encountered was when copying several hundred megabytes of data to the encrypted disk, it would then cause the whole computer to lock up, this could have been because of the use of mdconfig or my laptop being dodgy. > Ciao > Vittorio Daniel
