I tried fixing this on various computers running High Sierra, so I figured this would be the best place to ask the question.
I wanted to encrypt one of my large external hard drives - 4 TB. I should have just purchased a new drive and encrypted that then transferred files over instead, but oh well. The encryption process was going on for over 24 hours and it was stuck at 10%. Unfortunately, we lost power. Now, I am unable to mount the drive and everything on any computer locks up if I try to do something on the drive (Restarting/Shutting down is a no go after running some terminal commands on the drive). Is there any way I can get the drive back? Either reversing the encryption or something else?
Thank you!
