Re: [Dorset] SanDisk Secure Access Software in Linux
I meant to send this to the list, but Tim CCs the List, so my message went to him instead...

The only real problem I had was that during the creation of the encrypted volume on the stick it said that the format was 100% completed and then took another 4-5 mins for the activity icon to stop rotating so that I could mount the volume. It says that it is a descendant of TrueCrypt and it certainly looks and behaves like it. I'm assuming that I would be able to open my volume if I had a copy of VeraCrypt on a Windows machine, just as we used to with TrueCrypt years ago. The downsides are: 1. To use it, the machine has to have VeraCrypt installed, using the version for its OS, or a 'Traveller Disc' installation has to be copied to the stick, but see below. 2. The 'Traveller Disc' tool, which allows you to install the Veracrypt software onto an unencrypted partition on the USB stick, doesn't seem to be available in the Linux version. Otherwise it does seem to be a good cross-platform tool. -- Terry Coles -- Next meeting: Bournemouth, Tuesday, 2016-11-01 20:00 Meets, Mailing list, IRC, LinkedIn, ... http://dorset.lug.org.uk/ New thread: mailto:dorset@mailman.lug.org.uk / CHECK IF YOU'RE REPLYING Reporting bugs well: http://goo.gl/4Xue / TO THE LIST OR THE AUTHOR

[Dorset] SanDisk Secure Access Software in Linux
Hi All, I just received a SanDisk USB Stick. I only bought it because to make up the value of my Amazon order to get free delivery (and you can never have enough USB sticks).
