Hi all.
While encrypting external drive, i was monitoring via diskutil cs. on the progress, however te status changed to "Paused" around 68%.
Since is is an external i could use DU to unlock, and run a disk repair, then i wuold assume i'd have to start encrypting all over again on my 2TB drive.... Since there is no data on there, that may be ok, but wouldn't it be easier just replacing the drive ? or is ths a indication the drive is bad ? The laptop was left over-nght..
Prior to wiping and encrypting, i was having hard drive issues.... Evidence of this showed constant corruption of files in iTunes/ covert art was messed up, even though it displayed on with the same artwork... and songs went stopped playing mid way through although these tested fine from cd
Is this all pointing to a bad drive ? as i wouldn't want to re-do the encryption again, to find its actually the drive.... I'd be saving time i just getting a new one.
