Yes you need to use Disk Utility. Select the volume and "erase" and select APFS encrypted. It must already be an APFS volume to do this.

We do not support encryption because there are kernel panics on encrypted volumes. I believe this problem also happens with Apple RAID created volumes, and we have also reported that to Apple, in the hopes they resolve this issue more urgently. It is not fixed yet.

Thanks. Are you able to encrypt volumes in the 10.16 beta and have it persist through a reboot/restart then?]]> Managing Disks - Certify, Verify, Initialize laurie@primal.ucdavis.edu https://forums.softraid.com/managing-disks-certify-verify-initialize/encryption-2/paged/2/#post-4756 Encryption https://forums.softraid.com/managing-disks-certify-verify-initialize/encryption-2/#post-4755 Mon, 08 Jun 2020 20:15:20 +0000 Managing Disks - Certify, Verify, Initialize SoftRAID Support https://forums.softraid.com/managing-disks-certify-verify-initialize/encryption-2/#post-4755
