FileVault Stuck Encrypting / Decrypting

I was having issues upgrading to the new OS because my FileVault was stuck encrypting, though it didn't seem to actually be encrypting. After about a week of research and dead ends I found some terminal commands that did the trick. Open a Terminal session and type the following commands:

sudo fdesetup status (this will show you the progress of FileVault)

sudo fdesetup disable (this will stop the FileVault process)

After you disable FileVault in this manner, reboot your Mac. You should find that after restarting FileVault continues the process of encrypting / decrypting. For a list of available commands type the following in Terminal:

man fdesetup
