Here's a small problem I got. Hope someone can help me out.
- Two machines connected by a crossover-cable. One got XP, the other Win7
- Exchange works fine: read and write from and to both machines
- Mount two truecrypt volumes (not file containers): one on each machine
- Writing files from the tc-volume one machine to the tc-volume on the other does not function
Question: how come? And how to solve?
As always: Read the documentation! http://www.truecrypt.org/docs/?s=sharing-over-network

Reading the manual indeed does not answer my question. First: that part in the manual is actually quite short. Second: it suggests that the construction I am trying to create should work, which it does not. I already checked the forum and other internet sites. – None – 2011-11-01T21:08:24.353
I'll bet the SMB file-sharing protocol is not insulated enough from the overlaying filesystem for this to work. TrueCrypt has a driver encrypting the data written by the filesystem to the volume (which is the SMB client-side in this case), but I'll bet those encrypted blocks are confusing SMB, which probably expects to look inside at the filesystem data for some reason. – Fran – 2012-05-08T18:13:17.063
