    Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

    Or you can use your Apple ID to register with this site and go the Apple BugReporter. Supposedly you will get an answer if you submit feedback.

    Or you could describe the problem you are seeing. I am unaware of a FileVault bug in Yosemite.

    Based on my interaction with Apple about FileVault, they are pretty proud of it. What is the bug you speak of?

    Apple Enterprise Support is aware of this issue. They have specific instructions which attempt to remediate the issue, however, attempting on two different MBP laptops, so far has not succeeded.

     

    The problem to be specific is - hang at login. The Filevaulted user account gets its password entered, then the "progress bar" mid screen will be seen to halt, never resuming. NVRAM resets dont necessarily cure this issue, but turning off FV2 definitely does.

     

    We are seeing this with 10.10.2 fully Apple-SUS updated machines.

     

    Feedback has been sent to Apple over this as well.

     

    Im recommending:

     

    a. turn off FV2 until such time as a Apple provided update cures it

    b. consider the Sophos WDE solution if WDE is absolutely required (disclosure: I havent attempted this, not sure about its workability)
