Well,

Are there instructions anywhere yet on how to work with filevault drives with 6.2, or is it relatively automatic? (I just received one that clones perfectly, but doesn't prompt on the MacOS to mount with a password, though DE sees that it's using filevault).

[msurgeon]

Right-click on FileVault partition and select "map". Click on down arrow on top toolbar (to the left of the square grid). Select "add virtual drive."
Then select "add virtual drive (Encrypted)". A dialog box will open prompting for FileVault password. By the way, don't give me credit for figuring this out myself. Tech support gave me the info. Good luck.

We need some kind of manual update for these new things too.
Will it be released?
