I'm interested in knowing who is using the FileVault feature of 10.3 Panther?

I tried it when Panther came out and it ate my home folder with the "reclaim lost space". Is it safe to use it now in 10.3.2?

It would be a lot neater if I had anything which needed to be secured. Because I don't work on a mac, I have never really used it.
And yeah, I heard that with the latest update, FileVault is safer to use than it was before.

Yeah, I just don't have anything that needs to be secured. Plus, nobody really uses my machine but me.

I also don't really have a need for it.
Perhaps if/when Apple releases Home Folder on iPod, I might use it then.

I'm worried about reliability and stability, but also I don't want to go through all the trouble of encrypting all the GBs in my iTunes music folder and other stuff that doesn't need it. I wish I could just set certain folders within Home to be protected.

 I wish they had FileVault Lite or something that would only encrypt your ~/Documents folder (or maybe other folders of your choice). I don't use FileVault because I don't want my media encrypted.

FileVault isn't anywhere near being usably mature.
If I turned on FileVault, it'd be encrypting about 40 gigs of mp3s/mp4s, 20 gigs of dv streams, and so forth, and maybe a few hundred megs of actual documents I'd like secured (max).
I just use an encrypted disk image.
