Hi Brian: Thank you for bringing that Wikipedia entry to my attention. Very interesting. I must disagree with one statement in that Wiki entry, in that the statement could easily be misinterpreted: "PBKDF2 has an interesting property when using HMAC . . . It is possible to trivially construct any number of different password pairs with collisions within each pair." This might be misinterpreted as meaning: "It is trivial to construct pairs that have HMAC collisions." THIS IS CERTAINLY NOT TRUE! (Finding...

At least I know it's not something sinister. Thanks for your input, I'll look into it! Why is "you need to format the disk..." showing even though I haven't clicked on it? https://sourceforge.net/p/veracrypt/discussion/technical/thread/9c394c665c/?limit=25#97d0...

Hi again: Yes, it is strange that the default "Mount Options" differ between the Windows and Ubuntu versions. I cannot think of any design/function reason why that should be the case. I am not a member of either the Development Team or the informal Support Team. However, I will post a brief note about his matter as a "Trouble Ticket" that will be reviewed by the Development Team: https://sourceforge.net/p/veracrypt/tickets/402/ You can contribute more information there (Trouble Ticket), as might...
