If Apple wants to use some of its great wealth to simplify and streamline the process, the clunky Disk Utility should be removed from the equation.

Anonymous Says: This whole thing could be made much easier and user-friendly. June 29th, at 7: I wonder if anyone can help. Are you reading what you are writing? Using Disk Utility Is this beyond the capabilities of Apple programmers? Apparently so. Obviously done something wrong but not sure what. All goes well to the point where I click on the newly created. If I use FileVault all of them would have access to the whole disk.ītw, there is a very basic security problem with dmg encrypted images. Either turn on FileVault or use an encrypted image for your Documents. Making your Home folder encrypted is a pain and causes numerous admin problems for OSX processes.

Lion and ML use Filevault2, which uses whole disk encryption, not just the Home folder. The built in File Vault feature turns the home directory into an encrypted disc image that is mounted and unmounted automatically. I also realized, when I had logged-out the user some of his processes were still runing.

Am I doing something wrong? On linux I can mount encrypted partition or loopback file and use it as my home directory with no problems.
