I am trying to create an encrypted image using disk utility but when I select the type of encryption it does not ask for password. When selecting to create the image (encrypted or not) disk utility ask for a password to allow authopen to make changes. after that it gives the error: unable to create image.dmg. no space left on device. Any ideas on how to fix this?
The process I am doing is fine. It used to work fine with Leopard 10.5.x and Tiger. Only since I've install Snow Leopard (Clean) that I can't do any encrypted image only.
What I've tried:
.
Already have plenty of free space on all volumes
.
Repaired all disks (Local+External) permissions from Snow Leopard boot DVD & from Local Standard account.
.
Create REGULAR disk image = Works, no matter the volume size & save directory;
.
Create ENCRYPTED disk image LOCALLY = Password prompt => Starts => STALLS after 2mins, no matter the volume size & save directory;
.
Create ENCRYPTED disk image from Snow Leopard boot DVD = Same as above.
Furthermore, Snow Leopard seems to have a hard time with USB drives having partitions since many times I end up losing all the data on partitions, sometimes not seeing any partition after IGNORING initialize prompt, and after some re-try everything is fine.
