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. :)
