[QUOTE="acolor, post: 1640267, member: 323278"] Spec: macbook pro 13" retina(2013 late), connect with Transcent 2T external drive, OSX 10.10.2 The partition of this external disk: [A]1.75T/exFAT(put my data) + [B]256MB/encrypted logical partition(for Time-Machine or put some data seldom used). BTW, this external drive is not connected all the time. First time after I prepare this external disk, system prompts me to enter the password for [B] once, and I can put data to [B] again without any password request even if system is restarted. However, the password prompt displays every time if I add/del files or folders on [B] now. What's wrong with it? In the 'keychain' I can find the password item for this external drive. Does this keychain item still work? Need help, thanks! ps. sorry, I go to the wrong place and should post this thread in MBP board, but I can't find the way to move there.[/B][/B][/B][/B] [/QUOTE]
