Hm? I don't understand what you don't understand. There's no such thing as a half-encrypted svnd (=partition). If you can mount an encrypted svnd then you have a totally encrypted drive. If you put it in fstab even better, but you need to somehow get it to ask you for a password (-k) or give it a saltfile (-K) from somewhere when it does that (and you better not store that password on the same laptop). -Nick
