So I upgraded to High Sierra on my MacBook 2017. The install automatically converted my install to APFS. I'm trying to enable FileVault and it comes up with an error: That says: FileVault Failed. A disk with a mount point is required.

I don't know how to fix this so I ran First Aid from Disk Utility. That says: error Device does not contain a valid APFS container. File system check exit code is 8.

Running First Aid from my Recovery Partition seems to work fine and there are no error messages.

I'm guessing you will need this too:
Code:
/dev/disk0 (internal):

   #:                       TYPE NAME                    SIZE       IDENTIFIER

   0:      GUID_partition_scheme                         1.0 TB     disk0

   1:                        EFI EFI                     314.6 MB   disk0s1

   2:                 Apple_APFS Container disk1         1.0 TB     disk0s2


/dev/disk1 (synthesized):

   #:                       TYPE NAME                    SIZE       IDENTIFIER

   0:      APFS Container Scheme -                      +1.0 TB     disk1

   3:                APFS Volume Recovery                520.0 MB   disk1s3

   4:                APFS Volume VM                      1.1 GB     disk1s4

Anybody know how to fix this?

Anybody have any clues with this? Because I have no idea how to fix it myself.

So I couldn't ever figure this out. I contacted Apple and ihey asked me to reformat my disk and re-install. I did that and now everything seems to be working fine, FV is enabled.

There is some mystery bugs on FileVault and disk utility. If I run DU my finder will corrupt. Boot fixing error. Five times clean installed, disabling FV is only way to fix it atm. Hope the next update will fixing.
