i got burned using file vault when panther first came out and lost a lot of stuff: calender, contacts, corrupted my iPhoto and iTunes library and some other files in my home directory.

the first panther point release supposedly fixed issues with file vault, but i've been aprehensive to try it again. any dogs use it? any successes or failures?

What is file vault supposed to do? Is it an encrypted or compressed file system, or am I off base?
