Does FileVault2 on OSX Lion encrypt bootcamp partitions?

When using FileVault2's Whole Disk Encryption, does it encrypt a bootcamp partition? If not, does it still allow access from Windows to the encrypted Mac disk? What about Parallels access of bootcamp for virtualization?


FileVault 2 creates a partition which is then managed by it, kinda how LVM works in Linux (the partition seems to be able to contain more than one "partition" but the file system sees it as only one).

So "Whole Disk Encryption" doesn't touch BootCamp drives at all; it just encrypts its Boot partition. Looking at this CoreStorage stuff, it seems more like a glimpse of things to come (Essentially it looks inspired by Windows Dynamic Disk, LVM and ZFS). It seems like diskutil on the command line can be used to tweak and add more encrypted volumes, but there is no UI and it seems very undocumented/unsupported - for the moment at least.

See this pastebin entry for information about my HardDrive, a single 750 GB Drive with a Mac and a Boot Camp partition. disk0 is a physical drive, containing a "Core Storage" partition. When booting and entering the password, the EFI Loader seems to mount it as disk1, a "virtual" hard drive.
