Can I be sure that a partiton encryption completed?
I encrypted a non-boot partition on an internal SSD, using the standard OS encryption for OS 10.13 (High Sierra) on a 2014 Macbook Pro. But when I returned to the computer, it had restarted. The partition appears to have been encrypted successfully, but I am uneasy that the encryption might not have completed. Still, afterwards, I did an encryption erase of the partition, then repartitioned the drive into one partition and encryption-erased that again. This is in preparation for sending the ssd back to China, so I am ... concerned. The drive fails due to heat issues, so I had to keep everything cold during these processes.
The other partitions on the drive encrypted without incident, and FileVault seems to have completed successfully, so I am not worried about the other partitions.
Yes, I know this is a bit complicated!
Would MacOS have "known" if the encryption was incomplete, the way it keeps track with a filevault encryption?
Thanks!
