macOS 27 Golden Gate does not actually support CoreStorage volumes
El autor muestra que macOS 27 no puede montar, borrar ni convertir normalmente volúmenes CoreStorage con HFS+ cifrado, aunque `mount_hfs` sí permite acceder a ellos en modo de solo lectura; los intentos de escritura fallan con «Resource busy». También señala que el aviso del sistema atribuye a macOS 28 la futura falta de compatibilidad, pese a que el problema ya aparece en macOS 27. Como solución para borrar el disco, propone eliminar el volumen lógico, reiniciar y luego borrar el volumen físico, pero no encuentra una forma de conservar o convertir los datos.
macOS 15 Sequoia had a hard time with CoreStorage – and thus encrypted HFS+ volumes – since it deprecated both technologies and callously crippled some important tools for working with them, but nonetheless it mostly still worked. While I’d often – but not always – have to manually unlock one of my HFS+ volumes – but not the others – at boot, and it also refused to convert some – but not all – volumes from HFS+ to APFS1, keeping me trapped in the situation – it ultimately still worked. I could get at my data and use the volumes more or less normally.
