high sierra and veracrypt , can't mount my partition anymore


Recommended Posts

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.

    • Microsoft kills AI-powered history search feature in Edge by Usama Jawad In June 2025, Microsoft began rolling out AI-powered history search functionality with Edge 138. The idea was simple: allow customers to use natural language phrases and synonyms to find their desired history items rather than matching keywords exactly. Although the company had already rolled out this capability in a phased manner, it has now decided to cancel it. In an update on its Microsoft 365 Roadmap, Microsoft has announced that it has decided not to move forward with AI-powered history search. The company has not detailed the exact reasoning behind this move, but it has apologized to customers for the inconvenience. The move is rather interesting as it seemingly could have improved user productivity. Edge users wouldn't have to worry about typos or exact keywords, and just focus on what they were trying to locate in their browser history. Microsoft had also assured users that an on-device AI model would be leveraged for this functionality, and no data would be sent to the cloud. IT admins also had the ability to control its availability through the EdgeHistoryAISearchEnabled policy. When the feature began rolling out last year, many of our readers called it creepy, noting that they couldn't trust Microsoft to keep their data on their device. Others also questioned its usefulness, saying that it's simply a way for Microsoft to insert more AI bloat into its products. Although the Redmond tech giant had stated that it will be more mindful about surfacing Copilot features in Windows 11 apps, we later discussed how this is mostly a rebranding exercise rather than an actual axing of AI functionalities. Indeed, a Microsoft executive later emphasized how they want to reshape Windows for the agentic AI era. That said, it does seem like at least AI-powered Edge history search isn't a part of that vision.
    • For you to jump on and defend your sweetheart? I agree, it didn't.
    • Not likely, of course, that we will see routine citizenship checks as they only involve compliance with existing federal voting laws already on the books for decades. This seems a non-issue entirely. Only fools would have the government rush headlong into an AI program few can understand or predict, or even debug...
