I'd have to go take a look at my old truecrypt setup, but that sounds really suboptimal. The truecrypt setup I described earlier was pretty simple, and its loopback file was FAT32, but it never pegged the CPU or even made the CPU fan turn on. I think the encryption method you use makes some difference too. -- Matt G / Dances With Crows The Crow202 Blog: http://crow202.org/wordpress/ There is no Darkness in Eternity/But only Light too dim for us to see --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
