Can not open fresh "extended Truecrypt-Volume"

[Peter Wimper]

After converting a normal Truecrypt-Volume into an extended Truecrypt-Volume via "<Contextmenu> - Scripts - extended Truecrypt-Volumes - convert" the system announces success, but after that I can not open it via "<Contextmenu> - Scripts - extended Truecrypt-Volumes - open". I get the message "another extended Truecrypt-Volume already may be opened".

The script that converts the normal Truecrypt-Volume into an extended one announces success before closing the Volume after running mkfs.ext3. That never was noticed as a problem, because in former versions truecrypt closed the Volume very fast.

Now Truecrypt 6.3a seems to take longer and if you try to open the extended Truecrypt-Volume before it was closed, you get the described problems.

We changed the order of the commands in the attached script.

If we have enough time for the code-review we will switch to Truecrypt 7.0 in the Final-Release and check if the same problem exists in that version.

We have decided not to implement TrueCrypt 7 within UPR 10.04 because of undocumented container format changes. The change mentioned by Mark fixes the problem, so that will have to be enough.
