Mac OS X 10.7 Recovery OS used too soon after enabling FiileVault 2

If you use Recovery OS Disk Utility, or any comparable utility, too soon after enabling FileVault 2 — before entering a passphrase at the EFI loginwindow — then without a prompt to unlock the volume, an attempt to verify or repair may produce a report such as the one below.


Verifying volume “a”

Checking storage systemChecking volume.

disk1: Scan for Volume Headers

Invalid Volume Header @ 0: incorrect block type

Invalid Volume Header @ 58855587328: invalid field value

disk1 is not a CoreStorage volume

Error: Storage system verify or repair failed.


Also, the required startup volume may not be listed for startup purposes.


In this situation: do not be alarmed by the report.


Restart the system. At the EFI loginwindow, which should appear within seconds of the startup chime, enter the passphrase.
