[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1015329"] What 6String said, but with the caveat that now that you've started the process, you will HAVE to wait for it to finish before you can do anything (AND go through it again once you turn FV off because the home folder now has to be de-crypted again). This is just one of the reasons I constantly tell people to stay the heck away from FileVault. PS. Firewall isn't needed either if you are using a router or modern high-speed modem. They already have firewalls, no need for another. [/QUOTE]
