Yet Another TrueCrypt Question...
I'm starting to think I may have misunderstood hidden containers with
truecrypt. I thought it's possible to have a hidden container and
create another hidden container in that one.

I'm currently just experimenting with a USB memory stick. I created
whose stick size truecrypt container.
Then I created a 10mb hidden container in side the main container.
Dismount all.
Mounted 10mb hidden. Created another hidden container, 5mb, inside the
10mb container.
Both appear mounted and open.
dismount all
mount 5mb hidden, no problems.
mount 10mb hidden, can't do
dismount all
mount outer volume. Ok
Mount 10mb hidden, no go.
Mount 5mb hidden, OK.

I'm starting to believe that there can be only one hidden container.
When creating hidden container inside hidden container, TC appears to
take the original hidden into account. Ie. in my case when creating
inside 10mb container, max size for the new container was mentioned as
5mb. Limitation came from the hidden container's size, not from the
original outer volume size.

Anyone to validate that it is not possible to create hidden containers
inside hidden containers?
