Re: Full Disk Encryption and (U)pgrade via snapshot installer?

Hey Chris,

Running the bioctl command at the bottom will also decrypt the partition.
It's not obvious in the FAQ. It's at the very bottom.
With my setup, I was afraid of overwriting it, but that's how to open it.

The method you used also works!

Cheers,
Zack Lofgren
