As a matter of fact, I didn't even consider it before you suggested it.
So I gave it a try. I didn't let the company which is behind the project
turn me down. Neither was I stopped by the fact that
It was fixed for 3.1 (I think), and now works just fine, out of the box.

Nice surprise. Last time I checked the

Hello,
I suppose that by now some of you have realized that I'm working on
setting up my new computer. ;)
The new question is whether I should encrypt the whole hard disk,
including the swap partition (minus, possibly, a read-only mounted
/boot). Just so I don't need to worry in case my

In my laptop (dual core, used for development) I found that compiling
from an encrypted partition was noticeably slower. I wound up setting up

Since that's exactly what I want to do, could you be more specific about
what kind of trouble? Just slow? Or other issues?
And when you say dual core, how many CPUs does the
Please note that the next generation of Intel CPUs (starting at
February!) are going to have an AES instruction built in them, making
harddisk encryption (using AES) extremely efficient (we're talking at
about 4 cycles/byte in stupid modes and about 0.7 cycles per byte in
more useful modes).

Sequential IO is very simple, relatively, so that you will hardly feel the
performance impact testing it.
Test random IO loads with small packets (0.5K-4K) and you will probably feel
the performance impact there.

No other issues. As far as I

Theoretically, yes. In practice, keep a good backup.
