The company I work for requires this.

I have a dual boot Dell notebook - WinXP (which I virtually never use but the company requires to be on the system) and SUSE 9.2.

My /home partition is an encrypted reiserfs partion - approx. 25GB.  It asks me for the password/passphrase at bootup/mount. I've used this same notebook with and without the encrypted partition - I'd have to say any performance degredation is not terribly noticable.

The only downside - I'd like to upgrade to SUSE 9.3 - but I'm not exactly sure how that is going to work.

Hi:

I'll probably get a Latitude D610, and because i'll work with sensible
information and because of that i was considering the encrypted
filesystem option on SuSE 9.2 in case the laptop is stolen or
something like that, but i'm not sure about how it works, maybe it's
not practical to encrypt +/- 20GB of data and pretend to work normally
with that every day, any hints?

Thanks in advanced
CI.-
