-    <title>Use a separate encrypted volume</title>

-      If you like, you can also add encryption to the recommended
-      approach taken by the installer. You can do this by pre-creating
-      an encrypted volume before you run the installer--or you can
-      run the installer and encrypt the volume it creates later.

-    <orderedlist>
-      <listitem>
-        <para>
-          The additional volume won't be encrypted with your existing

-      </listitem>
-      <listitem>
-        <para>
-          You can store the password in Keychain to automatically
-          decrypt the volume on boot--but it'll have to wait on Keychain
-          and may not mount before your GUI apps restore. If any of
-          your launchd agents or apps depend on Nix-installed software
-          (for example, if you use a Nix-installed login shell), the
-          restore may fail or break.

-          On a case-by-case basis, you may be able to work around this

-        </para>
-        <para>
-          It's also possible to decrypt and mount the volume earlier
