Cannot use truecrack on encrypted partition

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.create encrypted partition in truecrypt
2.run: truecrack --truecrypt /dev/sdb1 [..other command line options]
3.result: Error opening volume file: No such file or directory

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I was hoping for a successful run, of course! This is the output I get with a 
basic test wordfile:
TrueCrack v3.0
Website: http://code.google.com/p/truecrack
Contact us: infotruecrack@gmail.com
Error opening volume file: No such file or directory
No found password
Total computations: "4"

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
3.0

Please provide any additional information below.
I understand this may not be the intention (or functionality) of this software, 
but I can't find any information making this clear either way. Please advise. 
Thanks!

You need to first mount the disk to the linux partition.  That's why you're 
seeing that message.  However, you'll probably have some trouble mounting it as 
well, because the partition is encrypted and linux can't recognize what type of 
file system it is.  If you find a way to do this, please let me know as I'm 
having the same problem.

TrueCrack v3.0 supports only Truecrypt volume files and no Truecrypt partition. 
We want to include this functionality in the next release. Sorry.

An encryption partition can be managed as a common truecrypt volume file. All 
you need is to define the device into --truecrypt argument:
truecrack -t /dev/sdb1 -w wordlist

I provide a more documentation about this feature into the new version.

How did you mount the encrypted partition?  It doesn't recognize the file 
system when the entire partition is encrypted...  Could you provide more detail 
on how you did this?

My mistake.  Did you mean this feature will be added in the newest version?  
Nice work!  Congrats!  Look forward to seeing it in action!

You don't need to mount the partition :-) It works also with partition image 
file (where partition.tc is the image of the disk):
dd if=/dev/sdb1 of=./partition.tc
truecrack -t ./partition.tc -w wordlist

It works perfectly on version 3.0 and 3.3 available on subversion. In release 
3.3 there are a lots of news ;-) Try to trust me..

Hi there,

I finally got around to using this a couple of months ago. Worked wonderfully. 
Just wanted to say thanks!
