Nobody have any suggestions?

Hi! I have veracrypt on my Ubuntu 24.04 machine, and I'm trying to share it using samba with a Windows machine. I can access the drive, but I cant write to it. I've tried to share a non-encrypted folder with same settings and that works fine, so I'm guess it has something to do with veracrypt. I have tried to add umask=000 in mounting options, but that didn't work. Though it does say drwxrwxrwx when i do ls -ld /media/veracrypt1, I'm still not able to write to it. Does anyone have any suggestions...

Sorry to bump this, but I'm finally done recovering files from the raid, so now I have to format... Nobody knows what may have caused this issue? Anything I might have done wrong or doesn't Verecrypt work well when expanding raids? I would really like to continue to use Veracrypt, but this is the second time it has happened to me. I'm not sure what to do... Anyone have any suggestions? Any help is appreciated!

Hey Enigma! Thanks for the reply! I don't have RAM Encryption (I think) and my data isn't corrupted, fortunately. Its just that Windows doesn't seem to recognize the filesystem or something, and tells me to format when I mount the volume. As you can see from the screenshot I have attached, my recovery program can see folders and also tells me its NTFS. I can recover my data but since I would have to buy some new drives, I would rather fix the problem, if it's possible. Maybe it's not? I tried to...

I recently added some drives to my raid. I used veracrypt expander and it told me everything was fine once it finished. But then when I mount the volume it tells me I have to format before I can use the drive! Anyone know whats causing this, and how to fix it? It was formated with NTFS as it should be (to use the expander tool) and as you can see from ss3, when I do the "check filesystem" in veracrypt, it also says NTFS. Anyone know why this happened and how to fix it? Any help is much appreciated!...

Sorry for posting this again. I first posted in technical, but didn't get a response. Maybe it was the wrong section. I have a raid6 hw raid setup and want to add a couple of drives to the volume, so just so I don't mess anything up, I have a couple of questions: - Can I use my encrypted volume while the raid card adds drives to the pool? (reconstructs raid?) - Do I first expand volume in disk management, then use VeraCryp Expander tool to expand the encrypted volume? Is there any particular settings...
