2010pclos truecrypt dismount cli <SOLVED>

[docnascar]

I found out I could not use my truecrypt script files (created and working in pclos2009) for truecrypt in pclos2010. I was able to fix them so I could launch and run them from the cli (terminal) but I can't unmount the volumes when I'm done.

I came across this thread that explains how to get them to unmount. It works, but you are forced to use the gui.

I tried "umount" and it does unmount the volume in linux, but truecrypt thinks its still mounted. I had to reboot to get out of that mess. LOL.

Would be nice to get a CLI command that works. Has anyone came across one?

Does truecrypt -d no longer work?

[docnascar]

nope

you get an error:
device-mapper: remove ioctl failed: Device or resource busy
Command failed

docnascar,

I had that problem for some time (up to about 6 weeks ago), but it's okay now. I usually just wait for a minute or two, then unmount the volume either by right-clicking the icon or with a truecrypt -d. If I try to unmount immediately after closing the affected application, I get the same error message ("Device or resource busy").

When I had the problems I used a script that contains this:

Code: [Select]

su -c 'umount /media/truecrypt9 && truecrypt -d && rm -rf /tmp/.truecrypt_aux_mnt1/'
Entered my root password and all was well. But, as I said, that's no longer necessary.

Hopefully simply waiting for a minute and then unmounting will solve your problem.

Thanks. I think that is working. I want to play a little more.

How do I get the terminal to stay open when running the script from the desktop via an executable icon? It runs in the background and I can't see what it is doing.

tschommer,

I tried the wait thing but had no luck.

Your command worked for me, thanks!

Also, I figured out how to make my scripts show in the window. I just created a shortcut to them and had them run in terminal.

docnascar,

good to hear that the command works for you. When I was having my issues with Truecrypt, I found several discussions about the problem on various boards.

Just so you know that you're not alone
