Will do. A PR should be available within the next few days.

Thanks for the reply and putting it on your TODO list. Unfortunately Windows is not always adhering to standards, but thank you for the explanation. This certainly makes it a bit clearer how that term might have been used in the first place. It's such a weird term though. Every time I read it in Veracrypt I feel my brain trying to associate it with unmounting a volume, but ending up with a brain fart instead. If you are ok with it, I can work on a PR on github.

@idrassi Another 4 years have passed. I really do understand that the developers are Fench or are not native English speakers. But can the developers please check themselves, if they don't believe me. The term dismount (a drive or filesystem) is wrong. I have never seen this term being used in any other software. Once again, you dismount a horse or a bike. You are not riding a hard disk (or at least I hope so - no idea what French people do ;-) the smiley indicates this was a joke), thus you do no...

The Unix world used the terms mount and unmount since the beginning. man umount Either way, demount/dismount and everything else but unmount is wrong in this context.

What I'm saying is that someone should change the term. I don't really care what TC used, since it's dead. I'm saying that the term is completely wrong and if you are an English speaker, it startles you every time you read it.

I think I've mentioned this a while back (a few years ago). There is no dismount term in IT. It's called unmount. Every time I read dismount it gives me a jolt. One dismounts a horse or a bike, but not a disk. Please change this accordingly. I know that this is not that important, but it is just horribly wrong. Cheers, K. C.

Thank you very much for the detailed information. I guess this guy is selling the exploit to LEOs. The problem is I can't recall which Veracrypt version I used to create the volume. Copying a few terabytes twice is time consuming and I hoped to avoid it.

No, I don't. I still don't understand why there's no tool to determine if one has to recreate the volume. Apparently there's a way to determine, if there's a hidden volume (if created with earlier versions). So there should be a tool that returns either "No, you are good." or "You have to recreate the volume."
