Hi.

While messing around a 15" early 2008 MBP in installing a new Mac OS X 
v10.11.x/El Capitan OS from a 64 GB PNY USB flash drive into its old 
original HDD, I noticed different results when encrypting its internal 
old HDD:

1. Encrypt (FileVault -- took a couple hours) after installing and 
updating Mac OS X v10.11.5 from an USB flash drive into a reformatted 
HDD with case sensitive journaled Mac OS FS. Mac OS X even told me to 
save a recovery key (used local, not cloud). Booting up MBP shows Mac OS 
X's user accounts login screen.

2. Encrypt while formatting a non-case sensitive journal Mac OS FS (took 
like a minute) before installing Mac OS X v10.11.6 (redownloaded and 
remade my bootable USB installer). Booting up the HDD show disk password 
instead of Mac OS X's login screen. Mac OS X says FileVault is enabled. 
Mac OS X never told me to save a recovery key.

Why the different results between these two encrypted disk orders if 
FileVault's encryption is used? Thank you in advance. :)
