[TUTORIAL] what is the best way to encrypt the disks

[Erik_borgqvist]

Hi
I've googled around a bit on how to get a fully encrypted system with 4 disks but haven't come up with anything, what would you have done?
I want it so that the system decrypts itself every time the server boots using a file on a USB, it would be great if you only need to have the stick plugged in during boot.

Does anyone have any tips?

What's the point on having the decrypt key physically on the same place as the server itself? IMHO that's as secure as an unencrypted disk. What am I missing here?

You can plug out usb after it boots?

so what I've been thinking is that you should only have it plugged in when the server boots then unplug it and lock it in
