[QUOTE="X-corpion, post: 1015312, member: 147045"] Hi All, I just got a Macbook Pro. I was suggested to turn the filevault which I did yesterday. The last message I got was that the clear text home directory was being deleted. After that the laptop has just been sitting there "thinking" (I can tell because of the cursor, similar to Window's sand clock icon). So how long does it usually take to complete? It's been sitting there for almost 20 hours. I know the HD is around 300 GB but I wasnt expecting that long for it complete. I dont recall interrupting the process in anyway, but I'm a little worried about it. Did I mess something up ? :( Thanks in advance, X-c [/QUOTE]
Verification
How many occurrences of a n-u-m-b-e-r between "d" and "f" in this example...(sdgs6ngklu3gd#f9%)?
