I use Filevault. Never had ANY issues with it so far. My password is also pretty strong (10 alphanumeric characters with punctuation sprinkled) so I doubt anyone would get much out of trying to crack it.
Everyone who travels with their laptop should use some kind of an encrypted FS if their data is worth anything.
- cratuki 19y ago> Never had ANY issues with it so far. It requires far more HDD space than not using it because it doesn't seem to clean up after itself for a while. And if you get low on hard disk space your system grinds to a halt.
- nickb 19y agoI dumped all of the non-important stuff (videos, music etc) into /Users/Shared and use Filevault only for dev and the size of it is fairly small. I haven't noticed any of the things you mentioned...
- dcurtis 19y agoLeopard fixes this. When you log out, it "recovers" disk space and cleans itself up.
- BitGeek 19y agoActually, all versions of filevault have done this.
- BitGeek 19y agoJust let it clean up when you log out....
