Document/assess VeraCrypt macOS compatibility issues #599

Open eloquence opened 1 month ago

eloquence commented 1 month ago

We've heard user reports of macOS compatibility issues (at least on M1 Macs) with recent versions of Veracrypt / macOS. Let's assess current compatibility and workarounds, and amend our docs accordingly, as we recommend Veracrypt specifically for cross-platform compatibility both for classic SD and SDW.

Sounds like it will still work with volumes created under Sequoia - that might be worth verifying if we have anyone running that.
