#582 Cannot access to ext4 hidden volume
VeraCript 1.26.14 VeraCrypt, I have an encrypted file with two volumes, the normal one and one hidden, if I mount the main one everything goes 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 in hidden it is added but you don't see it, because ext4... the problem is now that I have installed the new Ubuntu 24.04.1 version, in fact I had recently transferred some files. I have tried various combinations, between previous versions of Veracrypt and Ubuntu and the problem persists.
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
tray again now 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.

Any news? I'll like to recover my data in the hidden volume, if it is possible!
