I enabled FileVault when 10.3 first came out, it was a mistake, and I haven't touched it since. Is it finally *safe* to use, in that behavior is as expected?

I've been using it with no problems since 10.3.2. It's reclaimed space numerous times with no problems.

I have used it since right after 10.3.3 came out. I now run 10.3.4 and still no problems. I too have has it recliam disk space several times (when reboots were needed for software installs/ updates) and no problems. I had one total lockup on my dual G5 and had the hard shutdown and reboot using the switch and stil no problems. t's not perfect and others have mentioned other programs they like better but it seems to work fine so far.

Same here. Been using it since 10.3.2 or .3, on 2 PowerBooks, rebooting and reclaiming space about twice a week or so. No problem whatsoever yet (unless menu bar icons like "sound" not sticking is counted as problem).
