Dealing with filevault

I have filevault on my mac for my account. What's the best way with running crossover with a filevaulted account? Should I just symlink up ~/Library/Application Support/Crossover to a non-filevaulted area? My experience so far is that crossover (installing steam/tf2) does not play so well with filevault, finding speed issues and installation issues.

Sounds like a plan. There's nothing else Crossover uses in your home folder other than its ~/Library/Application Support/Crossover directory.

Hi, guys. I think I have the same problem (installing Steam/tf2), and looked up symbolic link, but am not sure how to implement it. Right now when I try to install steam the installer says I do not have enough free space on my disk. My file vaulted disk image 2.35 gb free (which should auto adjust, shouldn't it?) when I do an get info. The entire disk has 138 gb available. Any suggestions?

TIA, Barry

http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=2001110610290643 can give you some insight on how to create a symbolic link on Mac OS. Remember you'll want to locate your Steam & Crossover bottles on a non-filevault area. The filevault encryption can make Crossover flip out.
