Note, however, that this feature only works for removable storage devices such as CD/DVD (Windows XP SP2, Windows Vista, or a later version of Windows is required for this feature to work on USB memory sticks) and only when it is enabled in the operating system. This file is automatically executed by the operating system each time the РІР‚Вtraveler diskРІР‚в„ў is inserted. This is accomplished by creating a special script file called РІР‚В autorun.infРІР‚в„ў on the traveler disk. In this section, you can configure the РІР‚Вtraveler diskРІР‚в„ў to automatically start VeraCrypt or mount a specified VeraCrypt volume when the РІР‚Вtraveler diskРІР‚в„ў is inserted. Unchecking this option saves space on the traveler disk. Some of the parameters that can be set within the dialog deserve further explanation: Include VeraCrypt Volume Creation WizardР”В¬heck this option, if you need to create new VeraCrypt volumes using VeraCrypt run from the traveler disk you will create. After you select Tools -> Traveler Disk Setup, the Traveler Disk Setup dialog box should appear. A РІР‚Вtraveler diskРІР‚в„ў contains VeraCrypt executable files and optionally the РІР‚Вautorun.infРІР‚в„ў script (see the section AutoRun Configuration below). Note that VeraCrypt РІР‚Вtraveler diskРІР‚в„ў is not a VeraCrypt volume but an unencrypted volume.

You can use this facility to prepare a special traveler disk and launch VeraCrypt from there. This prevents various problems caused by a bug in Windows (for instance, it would be impossible to start VeraCrypt again as long as there are applications using the dismounted volume).

However, if you force dismount on a VeraCrypt volume when VeraCrypt runs in portable mode, or mount a writable NTFS-formatted volume on Windows Vista or later, the VeraCrypt driver may not be unloaded when you exit VeraCrypt (it will be unloaded only when you shut down or restart the system). Note: When running in РІР‚ВportableРІР‚в„ў mode, the VeraCrypt driver is unloaded when it is no longer needed (e.g., when all instances of the main application and/or of the Volume Creation Wizard are closed and no VeraCrypt volumes are mounted). The second option has several advantages, which are described in the following sections in this chapter.

You can use the Traveler Disk Setup facility to prepare a special traveler disk and launch VeraCrypt from there.

Note: To extract files from the VeraCrypt self-extracting package, run it, and then select Extract (instead of Install) on the second page of the VeraCrypt Setup wizard.

After you extract files from the VeraCrypt self-extracting package, you can directly run VeraCrypt.exe.

There are two ways to run VeraCrypt in portable mode:

Note: If that is a problem, see this question in the FAQ for a possible solution. After examining the registry file, it may be possible to tell that VeraCrypt was run (and that a VeraCrypt volume was mounted) on a Windows system even if it had been run in portable mode.

Oh and the VeraCrypt version is 1.22.Note: No matter what kind of software you use, as regards personal privacy in most cases, it is not safe to work with sensitive data under systems where you do not have administrator privileges, as the administrator can easily capture and copy your sensitive data, including passwords and keys. If it matters, one of the volumes is FAT32, the other exFAT. What am I missing? How can I achieve for these volumes to dismount cleanly?

usr/bin/logger 'Unmounting VeraCrypt volumes (using umount -f)' usr/bin/logger 'Unmounting VeraCrypt volumes (using umount)' usr/bin/logger 'Unmounting VeraCrypt volumes' So I have a systemd unit like this: Р”В®xecStop=/usr/local/bin/unmount-veracrypt-volumes.shР”Р„nd the script called from ExecStop looks like this: #!/bin/sh So far the checks never turned up any issues, though. Every subsequent boot into Windows I am prompted to check the file system as it allegedly hasn't been cleanly unmounted. I am attempting to properly dismount two VeraCrypt volumes from Linux.Р”Р„las, it doesn't work.
