Yet another FileVault Question

[johare]

I'm a recent convert from windows and on that side I used PGP Whole disk Encryption with terrific results. Upon booting, you have to enter a passphrase into the PGP application before you can go any further. it then boots and runs normaly. In addition to work stuff, I played games such as Half Life 2 & Far Cry with no performance problems. Apparently PGP will be offering this solution for OSX soon if not already. I think the benefit of this aproach over file vault is that ALL files are ALWAYS encrypted and you probably won't have the File Vault maintenence on shutdown like you do now. PGP also lets you create virtual encrypted drives - may be similar to Disk utility's encrypted Disk image. Might be worth looking into.
