Are there any linux tutorials on how to create Truecrypt container for storing sensitive data?
I did it installed it first on my centos:
yum install truecrypt
then read manual:
truecrypt -h
...
Examples:
Create a new volume:
truecrypt -t -c
Mount a volume:
truecrypt volume.tc /media/truecrypt1
Mount a volume as read-only, using keyfiles:
truecrypt -m ro -k keyfile1,keyfile2 volume.tc
Mount a volume without mounting its filesystem:
truecrypt --filesystem=none volume.tc
Mount a volume prompting only for its password:
truecrypt -t -k "" --protect-hidden=no volume.tc /media/truecrypt1
Dismount a volume:
truecrypt -d volume.tc
Dismount all mounted volumes:
truecrypt -d
then create Truecrypt container file:
truecrypt -c
[root@vps ~]# truecrypt -c
Volume type:
1) Normal
2) Hidden
Select [1]: 1
Enter volume path: /root/backup.tc
Enter volume size (sizeK/size[M]/sizeG): 6G
Encryption algorithm:
1) AES
2) Serpent
3) Twofish
4) AES-Twofish
5) AES-Twofish-Serpent
6) Serpent-AES
7) Serpent-Twofish-AES
8) Twofish-Serpent
Select [1]: 5
Hash algorithm:
1) RIPEMD-160
2) SHA-512
3) Whirlpool
Select [1]: 3
Filesystem:
1) FAT
2) None

The TrueCrypt volume has been successfully created.
Now mounting "volume" file we just created:
[root@vps ~]# truecrypt /root/backup.tc /root/backupWarning: Your system uses an old version of the Linux kernel.
Due to a bug in the Linux kernel, your system may stop responding when writing data to a TrueCrypt volume. This problem can be solved by upgrading the kernel to version 2.6.24 or later.
Enter password for /root/backup.tc:
Enter keyfile [none]:
Protect hidden volume (if any)? (y=Yes/n=No) [No]:
Error: fuse: device not found, try 'modprobe fuse' first
[root@vps ~]#
[root@vps ~]# modprobe fuse
FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.18-348.3.1.el5.028stab106.2/modules.dep: No such file or directory
Alas im on OpenVZ VPS and here is tutorial on how to setup FUSE:
https://openvz.org/FUSE
But i did not succeeded. After followed above tutorial i restarted VPS and when tried to mount TC contianer, it returned:
"Error: Failed to set up a loop device:
/tmp/.truecrypt_aux_mnt1/volume" here is the issue on TC forum (http://forums.truecrypt.org/viewtopic.php?t=29348).
Any idea please?
