    Good morning, I have a problem with VeraCrypt, I have an encrypted file with two volumes, the normal and the hidden one, if I mount the normal one everything is fine, while if I mount the hidden one it gives me the following error:

    mount: /media/veracrypt3: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/mapper/veracrypt3, missing codepage or helper program, or other error.
    dmesg(1) may have more information after failed mount system call.

    Under windows the hidden volume is mounted as hidden but does not access, perhaps because ext4... the problem is now that I installed the new Ubuntu 24.04.1 version, in fact I had recently transferred some files from the hidden to the normal one, I also tried with the previous version of VeraCrypt but the problems persist. VeraCript version 1.26.14

    I checked the kernel errors and when I can't open the encrypted volume it gives me the following messages:
    2024-11-28T19:46:08.102944+01:00 sam-studio kernel: loop27: detected capacity change from 0 to 67108864
    2024-11-28T19:57:47.491166+01:00 sam-studio kernel: loop27: detected capacity change from 0 to 67108864

    Just try again and dmesg show: [42917.369123] loop29: detected capacity change from 0 to 67108864

    The error message now is changed in that is in the attached image. Seems search a NTFS partition but the hidden for me is ext4 partition.
