Is there a way to unlock a VeraCrypt drive?
It’s not great, and Veracrypt will tell you not to do this, because the drive and keyfile is all it takes to unlock your drive, but the keyfile can’t easily be obtained except while your machine is on and unattended. It’s at least protected by a password on the Bitlocker drive. Of course, you could use Bitlocker as well.
Where does VeraCrypt Mount its control file system?
The pam_tmpdir.so module (Debian package libpam-tmpdir) causes logins and sudo to adopt /tmp/user/ user-id as the temporary directory. VeraCrypt ends up mounting its control file system under /tmp/user/0, which the non-root user cannot access.
What happens if my VeraCrypt server is stolen?
If the server from the garage was stolen and booted, the password (on the main server) would not be available and the VeraCrypt volumes remained locked. So a thief could only access the data when fiddling with the backup server while it was still connected to the LAN – an unlikely thing in my case.
Why is there No Slot 1 on VeraCrypt?
But “slot 1” on the GUI does not indicate anything mounted. Worse, there seems to be no smooth way to dismount the device. VeraCrypt insists that no drive is mounted. If I try to mount another device, the same slot won’t work.
