Having a problem with truecrypt on my tab. I am trying to mount a netowrk share truecrypt file. its mounted locally with cifsmanager. I am using a galaxy tab 7.7 with CM10.

Everything goes good, password, keyfile, then it works and seems to have decryped (based on the delay) and then I get this error:
Error: no child processes

If I try to mount it again, it says the volume is already mounted!
But there are no decrypted files in the mounted folder.
Any ideas ?

I get the same error when I dismount all volumes, but it does dismount it.

I listed mounted volumes verbose and it's definetly mounted but the Mount Directory: is blank
Hi, I seem to have the same problem but the Truecrypt comtainer file is in local storage. I'm running a recent CM10 nightly on Nexus 7. Have also tested cryptonite on my Galaxy Note on CM9.1 and I don't see the same problem.
Thanks for reporting this bug. It's better to report bugs to the issue tracker because I'm not checking this thread very frequently. I've started a new issue for you with some questions:

Thank you, and apologies for not following correct procedure. Comment added to the bug report. I'll also add additional comments there instead of this thread.

Yeah i put a test container on local storage on SD card and had the same issue. Not related to the network.

Thank you. I will follow your procedure and post results to the bug tracker. Tab is Galaxy Tab 7.7 with Cyanogenmod 10.
@okashira: I have managed to successully mount a truecrypt volume after updating to the latest CM10 Nightly for my Nexus 7 (which includes the M2 release). You may want to do the same. I have successfully mounted a truecripyt container file both locally and via a CIFS network share.

Quick'n'stupid question,

i made a folder in dropbox with the app, how can i use it with all the file explorers? If i just mount a crypted dir i get a mount directory, that one is clear.

Is this with TrueCrypt or EncFS? Which version of Android do you use? There's a known problem when mounting on 4.2:

Oh, sorry for didn't mention it, i made a EncFS Folder with the app. (the create it in dropbox option) on my cm9 (4.0.4) phone.
If i just make a EncFS folder i have a mounting point and can use it with a file explorer. But if i mount the folder created in dropbox i can't find it.

Hi,

I have some problem with script for mounting truecrypt volume using cryptonite. I save this script as mount_tc at /data/local/bin

Code:
export PATH=/data/data/csh.cryptonite:${PATH}
truecrypt -k "" --protect-hidden=no --fs-options="uid=1000,gid=1015,umask=0002" -v /mnt/emmc/documents/android.tc /mnt/emmc/truecrypt
Then I try my script at terminal emulator with su privilege and entering correct password but the outcome:

Code:
Error: No such file or directory:
losetup
But if I execute one by one then there is no problem. Could someone tell my which wrong ?
NOTE: I'm really a noob related to *NIX scripting

I'm using TrueCrypt on my PC so i'm interested, however i don't really get cryptonite... Is there an official thread for the app "EDS"?
