Hi Chris,


I came across with that page as well, but I tried before (and again now) and it didn't work.


The error still persists:

User uploaded file

I do believe it is a Mac-Fuse compatibility or similar, as it happened to me in the past and I solved the problem by trying different Mac-Fuse versions, but I can not guess which one works now on Lion and with Truecrypt.


Any other help?


Thank you

Hi there, I'm having a similar problem and I already have the latest version of MacFuse installed. I'm trying to restore a TrueCrypt volume (a 10GB container I created) from a TimeMachine backup. The most recent versions of this file does not mount - I get the above mentioned hdiutil error. Strangely, When I go to my OLDEST time machine back ups - from about 8 months ago, and choose the file there, it mounts fine. SO, something happened to the file along the way as it was being back up and I can't mount the latest version of it. Does anyone have any suggestions for getting this to work? I have tried mounting it on my 10.8.4 and my 10.6.8 systems, and get the same error.

Clicking the "read only" option, and checking the box for "do not mount" seems to load the file in True Crypt as a "hidden" file type, but of course I can't see the contents of the container anywhere because the volume is not mounted. Can anyone help here? Thanks so much - apologies in advance if I missed something obvious!
