Hi
Will Veracrypt be affected in anyway by the 2038 's bug...?
I think the current "exe" version of Veracrypt 1.23 ... is a 32 bits version ?
(I own an old 32 bits CPU laptop but I have not set the clock of the BIOS to 2038 yet)
Would be curious to see .....or is Veracrypt totally proof and immune to this far away threat ?
(ZIP files and FAT files could be affected or unreadable or stay unencrypted when trying to mount them ?)
thanks
the reason why I would rather use EXFAT as OUTERVOLUME is that FAT might be Outdated in a distant future
and not be working on January 2038
(yes it is far in the future but I like to do things correctly from the start......)
However, there might be a correction from Kernel 5.6 (...sorry it is in French)

=>I still don't know if Veracrypt FAT partition/device are at risk or not from 2038...?????
