When I try to mount I get this error:
/dev/mapper/veracrypt': Resource temporarily unavailable
I am having this Issue very often when I am trying to mount a partition. And I see a lot of user have the same problem.
I am Using linux Kubuntu Version Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS.
The SOLUTION is :
1. Close veracrypt
2. Check if still runing ps -eff | grep veracrypt
3. If there is a process kill it
4. check if there is a lock file on your home directory , delete: rm -rf /home/pol/.VeraCrypt-lock-pol
5. sudo lslocks, if there is a lock of veracrypt erase it
6. sudo umount /dev/mapper/veracrypt2
7. sudo dmsetup remove veracrypt2
8. restart your system and try to mount again....
The problem, is that even that I have the solution I wonder why is happening this, and how to prevent to happens. I have been using veracrypt since 2 years ago installed in my linux system without this problem. But One month ago started. I think it start to happens when I installed Samba on my machine.
