New user here. On a Mac, went through default type setup for external drive encryption. Appears to be set up; the file or volume appears in the folder. Attempted to mount it; a message flashes this may take a while; about 5 minutes later, the application memory warning window appears, and text edit is using 64 GB of application memory. Unmounted. So, stuck. Ideas?
I managed to resolve this by starting over and moving the mouse less, and for only 30 seconds, when creating the volume. That worked, the volume is created. However, when I mount it, it takes only a couple of seconds, and then the unmount button is there. But, I can't place files in the vault, so I assume it is not actually mounted. The icon shows a closed padlock in the finder.
