re-formatting a truecrypt drive
First, thank you very much for these files! I use TrueCrypt all the time.
I made a new TrueCrypt volume to find out it is created as a fat volume that only takes 8 characters! That won't work for me. I ended up booting up Windows and reformatting the encrypted drive with ntfs. I would prefer to format it with a linux file system.
I started to use fdisk, but backed out. It said that I "must set cylinders." At this point I became uncertain if fdisk is the correct tool.
In the terminal window can I type, "fdisk /path/encrypted_volume" and then proceed through the steps involved with formatting? Is there a graphical tool that I could format this with?
Thanks!

Yup, you can do that, also mke2fs and mkfs.ext3.b_linux wrote:I started to use fdisk, but backed out. It said that I "must set cylinders." At this point I became uncertain if fdisk is the correct tool.

Re: re-formatting a truecrypt drive
I had the same problem, but solved it by entering utf8 in the mount options area of the TrueCrypt preferences. That fixed things for me.b_linux wrote: I made a new TrueCrypt volume to find out it is created as a fat volume that only takes 8 characters! That won't work for me.

In the terminal window I typed in
# mkfs.ext3 /path/truecryptfile
--It responded with, "...is not a block special device. Proceed anyway?"
--I said yes.
# mkfs.ext3: Device size reported to be zero. Invalid partition specified, or partition table wasn't reread after running fdisk, due to a modified partition being busy and in use. You may need to reboot to re-read your partition table.
I tried this with fdisk and mke2fs, but got similar results. I didn't have any files open, so I'm not sure what it means when it says that the partition is being busy and in use.
???
Any ideas as to what I am doing wrong?
if your using 4.3a its /dev/mapper/truecrypt0 if your only using 1 truecrypt file.
you could check the path by typing mount in a terminal.

Code: Select all

reformatting a truecrypt volume
Wolf Pup,
Thanks for your help on this. I have 5.1a installed, by the way.
OK. I type "mount" and get this...
I then try the following...
Any ideas?
Thanks!

truecrypt on /tmp/.truecrypt_aux_mnt1 type fuse (rw,nosuid,nodev,user_id=0,group_id=0,allow_other)

Code: Select all
# mkfs.ext3 /dev/loop2
mke2fs 1.39 (29-May-2006)
/dev/loop2 is mounted; will not make a filesystem here!
# umount /mnt/truecrypt1

Thanks!
Start truecrypt and when you enter your password for the file, click options, under filesystem, check "do not mount". Enter you password and then try to format with mkfs.ext3

I opened up a rxvt window and typed "mount*, but as I assumed my truecrypt volume wasn't listed.ParameterIncorrect at
TrueCrypt::CoreUnix::MountVolume:421
After this occurs, TrueCrypt will no longer mount volumes. If I go to the the Process Lister and kill the TrueCrypt process I can then restart TrueCrypt and everything seems to work fine.
I have tried this will different volumes, by the way, and they all produce the same results.
Formatting a truecrypt volume with 4.3a
Thank for your help on this.
I have reformatted container files successfully with TrueCrypt 4.3a, but haven't gotten it to work with 5.1a.
Guess I will create my TrueCrypt containers in a version of puppy that has the old truecrypt installed.
Thanks!

Installing Truecrypt
I am new to puppy, so excuse me.
Downloaded and installed the files you provides:
truecrypt-5.1a.pet
truecrypt_guide-5.1a.pet
After rebooting I find truecrypt in Menu/utlity, but it does not work. If I write "truecrypt" on the terminal,it gives:
# truecrypt
truecrypt: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6: version `CXXABI_1.3.1' not found (required by truecrypt)
truecrypt: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.4' not found (required by truecrypt)
#
It seems some libraries are lacking. Anyone knows what to do?
Thanks

Hi Wolf Pup,
i have installed both 5.1-pets. The Guide could not be opened from the trucrypt-menu -> Help -> User's Guide.
It seems that:
1. Trucrypt looks at the wrong path
/root/"/usr/share/truecrypt/doc/ instead of /usr/share/truecrypt/doc/
2. The pdf is named wrong (or truecrypt searches for the wrong)
TrueCrypt User Guide-5.1a.pdf instead of TrueCrypt User Guide.pdf
Cheers
aragon

truecrypterror: no such file or directory
hello Wolf Pup (or so else),
maybe you have a solution for my prob. I installed truecrypt 6.1a and created a volume successfully. Then when i tried to mount this volume i got the message:
thanks in advance

hello puplix
I have been using Truecrypt for a number of years and when I upgraded to the latest version (6.1a) I got the same problem as you did. However was able to find a solution that was submitted to the forum (but can't find it again!).
The solution was to run Truecrypt; click Settings; Preferences; System Integration; then click the box in Kernel Services ("do not use kernel cryptographic services").
This worked for me.

@ colintl
Thank you for your tip. I did as you told so it helps me to go 1 step further to a probably solution.
Perhaps now it mounts the volume. I'm not sure because at the same time while it mounts i got a new error message:
Any further idea or suggestion?

After clicking the OK button of the error message the error message disappears so now I can see the "mounted" volume in the truecrypt window. A dobble click at the highlighted volume in the truecrypt windows brings the above told error message again. I made a screenshot that shows you the situation.no such file or directory: nautilus
Any further idea or suggestion?
