[macosx-unix] leopard filevault and Extended case sensitive

[George Georgalis]

Hi, thanks all for the serial number, command line
access techniques....  Today, before I can try that,
I have another problem.

When doing a leopard media "erase and install", we've
chosen to format the disk as
	"Mac OS Extended (Case-sensitive, Journaled)
vs the default
	"Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
for compatibility with software we want to run.

We can set the FileVault master password, but when
we attempt to turn it on we get:

        You cannot turn FileVault on because the
        home folder is on a volume that is not a Mac
        OS Extended volume.

While we might be able to deal with the non case
sensitive filesystem; erasing the installed software
to make a new filesystem will be a substantial
detour.

We definitely want FileVault.  Is there some way
to make it work on the Extended Case-sensitive
filesystem? My guess is the FileVault IS compatible
it just doesn't know it...

If someone here has the answer, I'll feel lucky
:) If not, which forum would be good to pose this
question?

// George
