FileVault 2 "issue" with an encrypted thumbdrive

Scotch_Brawth,

Yes, I thought it should also,

I can see the device in DU and muliple partitions (thanks to TinkerToy) and even run First Aid (until it has an error) but that is the ONLY action I can execute on it in DU.

Eric,

Nope.

Thanks for the suggestion.

etresoft,

I wish it was true.

When I try to run First Aid I get the following:

g_wolfman,

"Sorry about that Chief."

I didn't specify that the ONLY DU operation I can execute on any of the device's partitions is First Aid. I cannot erase, repartition, etc.

I've accepted that the data is lost (I have the originals so that isn't a problem) and I just want to have the use of my 64GB drive again.
