How to create a new veracrypt-encrypted volume using zulucrypt:


required packages:

    apt-get install zulucrypt-cli

- create a new empty file with a size of 10MB

    dd if=/dev/zero of=test.vc bs=1M count=10

- encrypt the file and create an ext2 filesystem in it

    sudo zuluCrypt-cli -c -d test.vc -t vcrypt -z ext2
   NOTE: run as sudo if you get a 'setgroups' error
   NOTE: install 'dosfstools' if you get a mkfs.vfat file not found error when using '-z vfat'


Mount a veracrypt-encrypted file:

    sudo zuluCrypt-cli -o -d test.vc -t vcrypt

List all the currently mounted volumes:

    sudo zuluCrypt-cli -L


Unmount a volume:

    sudo zuluCrypt-cli -q -d test.vc
