MacUser magazine has just reported a problem with Panther's Filevault that can corrupt preferences, keychains, safari, mail and iCal data, and generally be a right royal pain in the behind. There's a thread o the Apple boards about it here: <http://discussions.info.apple.com/ [EMAIL PROTECTED]@.599b98e4> for those who want to read more. Don't know if it's related to Mirko's problem but it seems quite a coincidence. As Scott said, treat FileVault with caution for the time being.
