time machine restore breaks file vault
Running Lion GM for the last few weeks on 2011 MBP w/500 GB drive. Decided to upgrade my drive to 750 GB and used TimeMachine to restore.
Had to boot SL (since Lion update isn't bootable by default and the dmg isn't on my local laptop) to launch the full TM restore.
TM had no problem restoring and everything worked fine until I tried to encrypt using File Vault. This was working on my 500GB drive.
When I try to enable, I get the following error:
FileVault can’t be turned on for the disk “Macintosh HD”.
Some disk formats don’t support the recovery partition required by encryption. To use encryption, reinstall this version of Mac OS X on a reformatted disk.
The format I used when I created the disk was Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
After realizing I couldn't encrypt, I tried the command-R to boot the recovery partition and its gone.
So how do we do a TM restore for Lion to a clean disk?
