FileVault Failed: Unable to create a new Core Storage logical volume group.

So when I try to enable FileVault on my Retina MBP, I go through all the steps and hit restart.
The program then hangs for about 30 seconds and gives me the above error.
It never restarts and never turns on FileVault.
Any ideas?

Triple-click anywhere in the line below to select it:
diskutil list; echo; diskutil cs list
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste (command-V) into the Terminal window.
Post any lines of output that appear below what you entered — the text, please, not a screenshot.

Error: -69774: Couldn't bring the new Core Storage Logical Volume online

Hi,
I have a filevault encrypted drive (750GB).
I first noticed a problem when it prompted my for the FileVault passphrase (which I had stored in my keychain) and entering the correct passphrase resulted in the typical "error" response (the sideways "bouncing" entry field) asking me for the passphrase again.
So I get a list of the corestorage to get the UUID of the encrypted volume:
>diskutil corestorage list

looking at the kernel log I see the following interesting entries:

BTW: after a while I also hear a single clicking sound (head jumping back on drive) so I am not sure if it might be a physical disk failure.
Any ideas anyone?

Also, I've tried Terminal command: diskutil corestorage revert UUID -stdinpassphrase which returned "Error: -69854: A disk with a mount point is required"

-69774: Couldn't bring the new Core Storage Logical Volume online.....What Now?

Hey,
I'll start from the begining.
I have a 1TB that was running Mavericks, which I decided to perform Firevault 2. Anyway my hard drive crashed and now I have Mavericks running on a different 250 gig hard drive and have been trying to decrypt my original 1tb harddrive through terminal.
So I originally did the "diskutil corestorage unlockVolume UUID -stdinpassphrase thing and it said that it could not mount it but I notice that it was converting. So after 6 hours the converting stopped and now it says that decyrption is no longer neccessary and that it needs to be reverted. So I am try to revert it with terminal and it tells me that it is unable to find mount point. So ive been trying to mount the disk and comes up with the above error -69774: Couldn't bring the new Core Storage Logical Volume online. So does anybody have any suggestions??
-Thank you

To anybody that read this and has the same sort of problem:
I just recovered my stuff using stellar pheonix Mac Data Recovery, even after I coundnt mount it on my other mac machine. Great software.

Yosemite install fails: "not enough free space in the Core Storage Logical Volume Group for this operation"

This is on a Mac Mini, running Mavericks, with a fusion drive (1TB/128GB), and 85GB free space.
Any ideas?

I too experienced the Low Disk space event… I hit the restart button and the install started again… I thought I got caught in a loop.
On the third time seeing the crawl bar for the Yosemite install I hit the Power Button and force killed the whole process.
Upon rebooting I saw horizontal black and white bars across the screen and VERY Slow everything.
Boot, Icon Bounce, Application Launch, Keyboard response… etc.
I was able to get to the Desktop and then I re-installed Yosemite. Dragging a window was laggy, and jerky…
On the third install of Yosemite things improved some, almost but not quite as fast as Mavericks … Some improvement but copy/writes remained very slow.
I now notice that some Applications such as “Clean My Mac” fail to launch and am still finding out if all are functional.
I have a home rolled Fusion Drive.
Currently I am considering a Clean Yosemite install and a TM restore.
Console and Activity Monitor report callservicesd and Chromehelper among others not responding…
I am on hold for the last ten minutes to Apple Support... They must be VERY busy today...

Volume encrypt and erase failed; unable to delete core storage logical volume

I was attempting to slowly migrate [MI-***] from early 2013 MBPRO to New iMac 5K w/Ceiling Level components.
Kept going through LONG process and then told me it couldn't create [MBPRO HD Home Username] "Jim" on volume or whatever. NO FileVault enabling/ still skittish from White iMac Encrypting Nightmare days... I don't even know -- I guess it's encrypted on Airport, but not on MBPRO.
Moved over Applications from outside User account fine; anything inside any User account NOT FINE.
Hooked up Thunderbolt cable between two macs and restarted MBPRO in T mode... displaying the lightning BOLT on screen that moves around to reduce Burn-in.
Was able to go onto desktop and use windows to drag n drop 190G of movies over to iMac... wondering how I was going to get all right settings over form FCP...
Bottom Line: I only have 16G left on MBPRO and need to MOVE video editing to be exclusive on 3T Fusion on Maxed out iMac 5K.
> Have concluded through whole process that I just want to clone the MBPRO and then delete most of the Larger Videos from MBPRO to recover some of my 760G SSD back.
So, I grabbed my 2T Airport Extreme and Hooked up the Cat5 LAN port to Cat5 input on back of NEW iMac; Now my MBPRO doesn't have to be locked up for days, because i can use TimeMachine backup to restore or clone the two macs... i hope.
Went into recovery mode and selected sub-Macintosh HD and attempted to erase; Result time after time after time: "Volume Encrypt and Erase failed." Reason: "Unable to delete the Core Storage logical volume." It dismounts it and I have to restart computer to get it back on. Funny thing is I don't have to use R anymore... which by the way, Command+R appears to be same as just plain old R when restarting... why is that?
This has become a "since Christmas" runaround session for me and I am sick of it.
Please help. I would've called Apple Care [and I did last night while driving... just to get advice on direction. I'm usually a pretty savvy PowerUser but this is driving me crazy.] but have to get things done for a meeting tomorrow. Can work on it after hours if someone can advise today on this post.
Thx,
Jim

I have taken some screenshots of the error I get and the state of my HDD in Disk Utility. I did have a weird thing happen after trying to repair using single user mode, where I reopened disk utility and the partitions were NOT greyed out and displayed the correct info concerning space available etc, although after verifying it then reverted back to greyed out with no info.

Partition failed: A problem occurred while resizing Core Storage physical volume structures

Hi everybody,
I have just installed Yosemite on my iMac and everything works right.
iMac 27" late 2012
3,4 Ghz intel core i7
32 GB 1600 Mhz DDR3
3TB Fusion drive.
Now I need to create a bootable partition to install a copy of Mavericks because some FCPX plugins do not work on Yosemite.
To create a new partition I use Disc Utility, but each time I try to create it the mac show me this error:
partition failed A problem occurred while resizing Core Storage physical volume structures
Why?
What can I do?
P.S. FCPX does not work on a virtual machine, so I have to install it on a new partition
Thanks

Ditto here.
Same problem - I have a Apple_Corestorage partition that can't be unlocked.
You have to do this command to free up the Corestorage partition
diskutil coreStorage delete logicalGroupUUID
In your case, it'll be:
diskutil coreStorage delete E2CDC5FC-DA6E-4F43-B524-8925ABB23883

Huh. Well, maybe that's why.
It was certainly happy enough to let me MAKE a LVG with multiple LVFs. Do you mean it just doesn't support encryption on a LVG with multiple LVFs?

Unable to delete the core storage logical volume

So I get the grey loading bar on the apple logo screen on bootup that get's to the end and then my iMac turns off. This happens everytime. I went into disk utility (CMD-R) and tried to format the partition and get the error message: Unable to delete the core storage logical volume - I should also mention that the OS X partition is greyed out and is marked as having 0GB free (which is false) and I can't select that partition to do a fresh install of OS X on.
I should mention that on my HDD I have a OS X partition and a bootcamp partitiion and this is the second time I have this issue. How can I fix my OS X partition without having reinstall bootcamp as I have 1TB of stuff on it.
Any ideas?

Is that all the error message you are getting or java error stack is also there? It looks like a custom message as I couldn't find it in fnd messages. DO you have any other custom code on this page or is this a custom page?

Hi,
Quote: setup was unable to create a new system partition or locate an existing system partition.
It can be caused by corrupt partition table.
Boot from Windows installation media, press Shift + F10 at setup screen, and run chkdsk command to fix drive error.

Also, please remmember to mark your system partition as active using diskpart command, if you do not have a system reserved partition.

Getting error Unable to create a new Message Layout: 500 attempts failed.

Dear All,
I am trying to add Form Value item to the Message Component Layout region through personalization.
I am getting error Unable to create a new Message Layout: 500 attempts failed.
While I am able to add Message Text Input, Message Lov Input items without any issue.
Same issue will appear if I add stack layout region.
The requirement is to add two hidden field to a Oracle supplied Message Component Layout Region( Page /oracle/apps/pa/finplan/webui/UpdateForecastLinePG
region UpdateResourceAssignmentRN.FinSumFieldsRN)
Please help me any work around or solution.
Regards
Devender Yadav

Hi Sun,
Thanks for reply.
I am just trying to add Form Value item not the Message Layout Bean.
Jdeveloper is allowing to add the messageLayout bean to messageComponentLayout (I have just tested it). It means OA Framework is facilitating it, it is the personalization Framework which may have restriction.

Hi Ravi Rai,
I'm sorry to hear about the issue you are having with your Mac. If you are having hard freezes or restart issue that don't appear to be drive related, even after reinstalling Mavericks, you may want to try the troubleshooting steps outlined in the following article:
OS X: When your computer spontaneously restarts or displays "Your computer restarted because of a problem."

I have 2 auxillary disk drives for my MacBokk Pro. Time Machine uses one for backup and I use the other for storage, but I am unable to create a new folder or drag and drop files or folders to the aux drive.

I am unable to create a new folder on either of my auxillary disk drives. I can access the files and folders that were there when I transferred one of the drives from a PC. Time machine uses one for backup and I want to use the other to store photos which are large files. An help would be appreciated.

Thanks for the reply. If I reformat the drive will I be able to access the files on it from the MAC. I do not share the drive with a PC. The files were originally created on a PC which I no longer use. I do want to continue to access the files put there by the PC. I would like to not have to copy them over to the MAC hard drive just to use them. The second aux drive is new and works fine because it was formatted by the MAC. I can drag and drop files there and work with just as if they were on the internal drive.
