I started the conversion process of decrypting my hard drive, and it got up to 63% and now it says paused. I thought maybe it paused because I ejected the drive, but now it's been back in for awhile and I've restarted my mac and tried decrypting it again through terminal and I just got "disk already decrypting". How do I resume it?
MacBook Pro with Retina display, macOS Sierra (10.12)
Hi Daniel,
Thanks for the screenshot. The reason why decryption is paused is because your MacBook must be plugged into power in order to encrypt or decrypt any kind of drive. Decryption of your hard drive should continue when your MacBook is plugged in.
Hope this helps!

oh that makes sense, thanks for the quick reply! It is back to decrypting now.
Hard drive decryption progress "paused"
