Anyway, the OS seems stable, but any Error is not good hence my question. I do have a Time Machine backup and another Carbon Copy Cloner backup so I am "insured" for a drive fail. I think I'll look at installing the OS from scratch and restoring the files from backup. Thanks for your help. | |

I had assumed FileVault - but I might be answering what to do when FileVault fails - not what you've managed to change with some other encryption tool. | |

explain next steps if recovery HD is missing.
