Im thinking of setting up filevault on my macbook but i just have a few questions.
-Is it possible to set up filevault encryption on my whole home /dir with out having to format or change anything that is on it?
-Once filevault has been set up, is it possible to de-activate it afterwards with out loosing any information or having to format?
-As it encrypts and un-encrypts information on the fly, does this have a significant affect on the macbooks battery life?
-How does it work, do you just enter your password and log in and then never notice it?
-do any of you use it, what do you think of it, is it a pain?
Thanks.
