Panther FileVault Troubles?
In the wake of PowerBook Display issues and Panther Firewire issues, some customers are also being affected by the adoption of FileVault - Apple's on-the-fly file encryption.
According to this article, the problem appears when FileVault asks to "reclaim lost disk space in the encrypted directory".
