Simple clean interface. Amazingly user-friendly!<BR/>2) Free and Open Source<BR/>3) Multiple Encryption and Hashing algorithm available.<BR/><BR/>Cons:<BR/>1) Buffered Read and Buffered Transfer Rate were almost halved after TrueCrypt FDE was enabled :-(.<BR/>2) Access Time for large file (250+MB) increased by 11%.<BR/>3) The initial encryption of the 120 GB HDD took 2 hours.Saqib Alihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02387888275653820697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5554915078212081470.post-27495777290976404262008-02-07T22:04:00.000-06:002008-02-07T22:04:00.000-06:00Someone on Digg suggested that if you're using it ...Someone on Digg suggested that if you're using it on a Case-Sensitive HFS+ filesystem, you need to rename <BR/>/Applications/TrueCrypt.app/Contents/MacOS/TrueCrypt to /Applications/TrueCrypt.app/Contents/MacOS/truecrypt -- In other words, the actual binary within the app needs to be lowercase. That worked for me. <BR/><BR/>I re-installed it and it broke again. I removed Info.plist and that also works.

I reported the problem to TrueCrypt.<BR/><BR/>After installing, it would fail to launch with a <B>not supported on this architecture</B> error. One reliable work-around I found was to delete the Info.plist file from /Applications/TrueCrypt.app/Contents/. This does not seem to cause any problems with TrueCrypt running as usual.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
