- acqq 13y agoIt can't be? When the container is 10 gigs and I change one file there aren't 10 gigs writes. It would last "forever."
- nknighthb 13y agoNo, it's not. Disk encryption products like TrueCrypt do not have the properties you expect from ordinary file encryption. Only a subset of blocks are modified. It's a tradeoff, but it's the only way to make disk encryption practical. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk_encryption_theory http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk_encryption_theory
