I have a decrypted system partition and already decrypted the other drive on my computer. Right now I have to type in the password for the additional partition every time I start my computer, because everything besides the system itself is stored on that volume.
That is really annoying.
I read that it is possible to automount a partion via script, sparing me to enter the password every time I start my computer. Yes, the password will be clear text, but stored on the enrypted system drive, so I see no real problem in it. The only problem I see is, that I seem to be too stupid to get it running or understanding how to set it up (I blame not geting enough sleep the last couple days, but that might be just a silly excuse).
Could someone explain to me how to set this up? All I found were explanations how to do it on Linux, but I'm running Windows ...
What I have right now is:
/v \DeviceXXXXX /l D:\ /p XXXXX
That opens VeraCrypt and puts the intended volume on D, as planned, but it doesn't actually mount it. I still have to mount by hand, which is what I want to avoid ...
Okay, solved it myself. An /a was missing at the beginning. Which is annoying, because the documentation says, that /a is implied when using the volume command ...
What the documentation says is "/auto is implicit if /quit and /volume are specified".
