VeraCrypt - create new container - broken pipe - Write:384

I have fresh Manjaro xfce 22.0.5 install (from just 2h ago), installed VeraCrypt from the GUI Software store, and created a new file container. Not hidden, ext4, Linux only use.
After formatting I got an error (can’t really remember) … end of data … not enough data … or something like that.
Tried formatting again, then got a pop-up with an error message
Broken Pipe - VeraCrypt::File::Write:384

On my other system (Manjaron - cinnamon - installed about a year ago with 5.15 kernel , just upgraded to 6.1), I am pretty installed it from the GUI Software Installer and never had any problems …

Hi,

Straight after newest stable update from today, my Veracrypt shows error messages when i mount a drive, Not Enough Data and after repeated password, Broken Pipe error message.

I restarted Veracrypt and lucky its working for now… but there is something wrong with Veracrypt in the official repos!

░░ This usually indicates a programming error in the crashing program and
░░ should be reported to its vendor as a bug.

@Kobold I had something similar, the disk unmounted itself all the time after a few seconds.
Solved it by going to >Settings>Mount Options>Uncheck Truecrypt mode and Mount volumes as read-only.
Somehow these settings got changed for me.
Please try.

Hmmm, i don’t have this issue at all. Why do you think its similar to mine, do you see this same errors?

I never use Truecrypt and i never had Truecrypt mode activated.
My mount volume is also not read only, i still have full access…

But I’am little bid worried, that my mount point becomes corrupted after time.

It might not be the same issue as mine. My settings file got corrupted last time and even I used correct settings, every time I started the program the settings were back. So what I had to do was to go to settings and save the config file after adjusting the settings back.

I could unmount and mount it yesterday without an error and today there was also no error after Password.

It looks to me, there was just a temporary issue… maybe a corrupted settings file after the new stable update. :man_shrugging:
