    I tried to create a volume with a long password (more than 50 characters), and it gave me this error.
    ---
    /Volumes/Rex/OSXCrypt/Libraries/TCrypt/Sources/Password.cpp:104: failed assertion `length < sizeof (Text)'
    Abort trap
    ---

    It worked fine with shorter passwords.

    Thanks for the great work!

    Hi,

    yes, that assertion exists because the hard limit for passwords is 256 character long
    and it is the same of TrueCrypt. I had to decide whether to make it assert or to simply
    just truncate the password.

    Maybe I should just warn the user...

    Thanks!

    Oh, okay. Good to know. :)

    One other bug/feature: When I try to execute the following command:

    ---
    ocutil create -verbose -fat -nopass -keyfiles keyfile,keyfile2,keyfile3 -algorithm Serpent-Twofish-AES -size 200M test.img
    ---
    Nothing happens. No error, it just puts me back at the bash prompt. (This is the same command as in the release notes, just with changed names.)

    I double-checked - I did remember to make the three keyfiles. :)

    For reference, when I omit the -nopass flag, it works as you'd expect - it just asks for a password.

    Keep up the good work! Thanks!

    Hi,

    If you write to info at osxcrypt dot org I can send you back the patch so you can test both the conditions.

    Thank you!
