    Wow! Thank you so much for saving my skin! I have a number of Macs (USB media and Windboxes) running Truecrypt and suddenly, Lion killed it until I found your site via Google. Thank you, thank you…. Works great!

    Is this just for full-disk or is it required for stand-alone Truecrypt volumes as well?

    I have 2011 MBP 13″, OS X Lion, TrueCrypt 7.0a, MacFUSE 2.1.9, and NTFS-3G (free edition) all installed. When creating a volume with TrueCrypt, the only filesystem options are None, FAT, and Mac OS Extended. TrueCrypt runs fine, but I need NTFS for volume filesystem to store files larger than 2GB (VM, disk image, memory dump, etc). How does a poor anon like myself get TrueCrypt to utilize NTFS?

    For me, I had to reboot. But with Lion, all the pain is gone. Everything just where I left it, and much MUCH faster! Yay Lion

    Indeed, Truecrypt works again, but not with an NTFS volume !!!
    One can read NTFS volumes but not write them.
    Is that a correct observation? Just ilke “Anonymous” on the 27th said?

    Writing in a volume that is nicely FAT or MAC OS Extended works fine.

    Still it is ok to get to access the information in Truecrypt volumes
46. Caroline says:

    And…. I still have a problem using Word for Mac on any true crypt volume.
    Word will not save a file to the Truecrypt container, it says: Make sure the disk you want to write to is not full, write-protected or damaged.
    Well is isn’t because when I write a Pages document to the Truecrypt folder, this works flawlessly. And you can also copy the file to the container, after which he cannot open is on the Truecrypt container.
    I am going to reboot to see if there is a difference.
47. Caroline says:

    July 29, 2011 at 8:32 am

    Rebooting helps.
    I now can use full-Word read AND write in a new truecrypt container, still a previous container with NTFS format can only be read.
