Hello

Have anyone tried to use Truecrypt on B3? What kind of access speeds did you get? I'm considering to upgrade my B2 but I have not yet decided if I should get a B3 or not.

When you run e.g. on the Truecrypt volume what kind of results do you get?

Best regards

Can't tell you anything about the speed, but maby Asad that wrote the wiki-post might?

Oh, and Cheeseboy is a bit guilty aswell I think... http://forum.excito.net/viewtopic.php?f ... 295#p13295

Eh, yes. But only did it as a test/POC to see if it would install and run. I did not actually use it, so I'm afraid I can't answer skulkrik's questions about the performance...

I have to put my faith on Asad or on someone else having too much spare time between Christmas and New Years Eve then

Well since i have been lurking the forum the past week or so (gave myself a B3 1Tb Wifi this christmas) and basically tried out most of the tutorials in the wiki i thought i would give this one a try as well.

Compiled truecrypt (7.1) from source and i am now creating my first container.
I might have overdone it since it says its 13h left...

Done: 0,428% Speed: 4,1 MB/s Left: 13 hours

Anyway, I will let you guys know what i find out tomorrow.

Running dd if=/dev/zero of=bigfile bs=100K count=1K on my truecrypt storage:

104857600 byte (105 MB) kopierade, 19,043 s, 5,5 MB/s

However the result varies from time to time. Sometimes i get 5.5MB/s, sometimes 6.4MB/s and sometimes as low as 3.3MB/s. It seems like the 5Mb/s is the most common result on my drive.

Without truecrypt is a whole other story:
104857600 byte (105 MB) kopierade, 1,49625 s, 70,1 MB/s

Sorry for the swedish terminal

niclasb, thank you very much for your help!

The numbers, unfortunately, have not improved that much compared to my results on the B2

Is there any alternatives to truecrypt if I want to protect my documents & files?

I am using truecrypt on B3 now, but i am getting really tried of the files transfer speed, 5.5Mb/s, and some days i move a lot of data in my line of work.

I have an lvm encrypted with luks (partial how to here - http://forum.excito.net/viewtopic.php?f ... =Encrypted). I don't really see any performance hits with it.
