That external drive has four partitions; one has a backup of my initial lion install, one has a backup of a second machine, one has a backup of my 10.6 install, and the fourth (the biggest) has both my primary system backup, and some video recordings that were tossed onto that drive for space reasons. And that is the partition that got lost. > I've had poor luck with encrypted backup partitions.

Had to reformat. Oh, no, no, please do not say that ... Well, so I lose the videos. They were not critical. And I lose my last month of backups ... But I would think that encrypted / protected data would be important. Does it really not work well? === How do you manage encrypted -- or compressed partitions -- from the command line? While playing with diskutil, it seems that it does support compressed partitions, but I never saw any GUI tools for that. --- This message was composed with the aid of a laptop cat, and no mouse _______________________________________________ MacOSX-talk mailing list MacOSX-talk@omnigroup.com http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/macosx-talk
