– Rather than getting out of Windows to expand the TrueCrypt partition, extend the partition using Disk Managementġ. Using the referenced, updated extcv ( ) which works with TrueCrypt 7.1a, I was able to expand a non-system encrypted disk (extended) partition.
Truecrypt download replacement software#
The software has just been updated, the biggest change is that it is now fully compatible with TrueCrypt 7, so that users of TrueCrypt 7 do not have to downgrade the software if they want to make use of Extcv to increase the size of their encrypted container. The software can manipulate the size of TrueCrypt containers on the fly so that they can be expanded if necessary.
That takes time and is not the best option, especially if the container is not hosted locally. Your only options? Delete data in the container or create a new larger container and move the data from the old into the new. TrueCrypt itself does not offer to change the size of the container once it has been created, which can be a problem if the space of the container runs low.
Users who work with TrueCrypt containers need to specify a container size during creation. The biggest problem back then was that the software was only compatible up to TrueCryt 6, and incompatible with TrueCrypt 7 which had been available for some time back then. I have reviewed the open source tool Extcv back in July and came to the conclusion that it offered TrueCrypt users an elegant and unobtrusive option to resize the TrueCrypt volume on the fly.
