Enabled FileVault with disabled SSV possible with Big Sur?
My Hardware is a 2019 MacBook Pro 15" has the T2 chip and runs macOS 11.0.1.
After disabling SSV via csrutil authenticated-root disable
and rebooting I can not enable FileVault. Unfortunately the error is very generic: "FileVault Failed An internal error has occurred."
Is it possible to have signed system volume (SSV) disabled but FileVault enabled?
Solution 1:
According to user experiences - this is not possible. Disabling SSV will leave the system stripped out of both SIP and File Vault.
