since the update to Virtualbox 5.2 I cannot mount a veracrypt container from a shared folder. Also if I want to create a new one I get the same error.
Veracrypt Error Message:
Code: Select all
Input-/Output error:
/dev/mapper/veracrypt1
The drive is damaged (there is a physical defect on it) or a cable is damaged, or the memory is malfunctioning.
Please note that this is a problem with your hardware, not with VeraCrypt. Therefore, please do NOT report this as a bug/problem in VeraCrypt and please do NOT ask for help with this in the VeraCrypt Forums. Please contact your computer vendor's technical support team for assistance. Thank you.
Note: If the error occurs repeatedly at the same place, it is very likely caused by a bad disk block, which should be possible to correct using third-party software (note that, in many cases, the 'chkdsk /r' command cannot correct it because it works only at the filesystem level; in some cases, the 'chkdsk' tool cannot even detect it).
VeraCrypt::File::ReadAt:306
So this problem seems to be a regression in Linux Guests with Virtualbox 5.2 only.
