Re: Encryption

While the added privacy is appealing, the looming threat of anything going wrong with the volume (not if, but definitely when) making it completely inaccessible is certainly off-putting for me. I have edited files in sectors that weren't even officially belonging to a partition at the time (thanks a lot MS fuckers for deleting it without a single word), but if the keys go missing I'm suddenly looking at just noise. That's not maintainable data storage in my world where based on experience things break even more inevitably than death and taxes.
