[;-) On the other hand, they may well believe that the 450 GB volume contains almost nothing if that happens to be the rest of the disk after the standard set of partitions. (As an example; on almost all of my systems, I have a standard set of partitions: root, swap, usr, var, home, u. The first four are almost invariably about 8-9 GB in size. home ranges from 4-16 GB. u is the rest of the disk. On older systems, that may be 45 GB; on newer, 450+ GB. I encrypt only home and u, and if I encrypt, always encrypt both.) cjs -- Curt Sampson <cjs%starling-software.com@localhost> +81 90 7737 2974 Mobile sites and software consulting: http://www.starling-software.com
