So if I forget to lock it and the computer is stolen then it is not encrypted? Is the lock/unlock part just for the system to be able to read from it?
If the laptop is shutdown, the encrypted filesystem is automatically unmounted. I have made it a habit to unmount it manually as I don't /shutdown/ my laptop, I hibernate it.
