About LinkBacksI've been using Filevault for the past few months, but I've noticed that it eats up a huge amount of drive space.
I tried turning it off but I can't because I don't have enough drive space to turn it off.
What should I do?
I'm on a G4 iBook with a 30GB HD.
I have an external drive and all my data is backed up.
TIA!

same thing happened to a friend of mine... basically, just move your data (on your laptop) to your external hdd, remove file vault and put back your stuff...
