    Hi,

    I am using a docker to test Veracrypt.
    This is an Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and i use the last version of veracrypt in command line.
    I create an encrypt volume and it seems to be ok:

    Done: 100.000%  Speed: 4.8 MiB/s  Left: 0 s
    
    The VeraCrypt volume has been successfully created.
    

    But when I want to mount it have this message error:

    Error: device-mapper: create ioctl on veracrypt1  failed: Device or resource busy
    Command failed
    

    Someone can help me?

    Thanks

    Hi @didier. I was looking for a solution for a similar problem in my raspberry pi, and it seems be because the kernel doesn't support the natively encryption of your volume. Mouting with

    -m=nokernelcrypto

    fixed my error. I hope it resolves for you too.

    P.D. The access with that option slows it down quite a lot.
