hi

i was an happy el capitan user and an happy sierra user

i guess i did a mistake to update to high sierra , not only for veracypt but for other softwares issues

 

well i had a parition encrypted with veracypt , it doesn't work anymore with high sierra

i download the last version of veracypt and fuse ,nothing when i try to mount the volume i got the fuse error

 

i tried with a friend laptop (with el capitan) i was able to mount it very quickly

 

is there a way to mount my external hard disk under high sierra?

can somebody try and confirm ?

and to be honest , i don't know really how better is high sierra compared to sierra

thanks

You aren't the only one with this issue see here, https://github.com/osxfuse/osxfuse/issues/425. It seems the issue is stemming from FUSE. According to this, https://github.com/veracrypt/VeraCrypt/issues/216, you can still mount the partition if you know the device name. See the last post in that thread.

 

On another forum found here, https://sourceforge.net/p/veracrypt/discussion/technical/thread/52491da6/?limit=25, said he found a solution.

Thank you Mounir for your reply after investigating the matter in-depth. I found out during the upgrade to High Sierra,VeracryptVeracrypt voulem was mounted as a result it got corrupted somhow. Therefore, i managed to  image and mount the drive than Veracrypt only worked after upgrading it 1.21 and reinstalling osxfuse with the support layer option is checked. As I was able to see list of drives yet Veracrypt msg highlighted to use the supported layer option within osxfuse. Just wanted to share my experience with all of you.

Once again thank you Mounir for your reply.

 

I would probably do the following:

 

Use your friends Mac and backup whatever was on this partition.

I would then hook the drive up to your machine with High Sierra and start completely over with Veracrypt. Wipe the drive and set everything back up using High Sierra if you have enough extra storage space for the backup of that partition.

    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval by David Uzondu Image via @realDonalTrump (X) As OpenAI prepares the release of its next model, GPT 5.6, the White House has instructed the company to limit the distribution of the software to a small group of government-approved partners instead of the general public, as it has done with previous releases. According to The Information, OpenAI Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman sent an internal memo to staff on Thursday explaining that the federal government will approve access "customer by customer" during an initial preview phase. Altman noted in the communication that this restrictive rollout is "not [their] long-term model" for software deployment, and the company plans to work toward a "more sustainable" distribution method later. CNN said that both OpenAI and the Trump administration view the capabilities of GPT 5.6 on the same level as Anthropic's Mythos and that government officials intend to "collaborate with frontier AI labs to develop shared approaches for addressing the challenges of scaling this technology." The latest restriction comes just weeks after the US Commerce Department decided to restrict Fable, a version of Mythos with extra safety "guardrails" to prevent users from exploiting software vulnerabilities. Not long after the release, though, researchers at Amazon found a way to bypass these restrictions, prompting an aggressive response from federal authorities. The government ordered Anthropic to cut off access for non-US citizens located outside the US, non-US citizens living inside the US, and incredibly, even Anthropic's own foreign-born employees. Anthropic now appears to be building a workaround to resolve this compliance block with an update to its Privacy Policy that introduces a category called "Verification Data" to handle KYC and Digital IDs. This setup could mandate digital identity checks to filter users by nationality, requiring a government-issued ID and facial biometric data. Who knows? Maybe in the future, you would have to scan your US Passport or State ID to prove your citizenship before you are allowed to chat with Fable 5 (or any other model).

      When Windows 7 was released I created an AutoHotkey script that uses Alt+` as a keyboard shortcut to move a window across monitors. I have been using that script for over 15 years and this is the first time I have come across another app that uses the same shortcut!

    • Windows 10 quietly gets one more year of support and updates

      By matthiew · Posted

      I called it last year that they wouldn't end support when they said there would. There are too many people still on Windows 10 waiting for something better to upgrade to and 11 ain't it! The recent promises of fixing Windows 11's many problems is nice, but unless they deliver on those promises in a big way then I expect customers will still want to stick with 10.
