Player, win8 and Truecrypt questions?

$

Hi All,

I am trying the win8 eval copy and am waiting fro Truecrypt to finish encrypting the win8 System partition, which popped the thought to mind.

 

Truecrypt will encrypt all sectors of a drive whether there is data or not so that to a Partition manager for instance, the drive looks full.

 

So far, so good. But, I understand that Player will expand the virtual hard drive space the Host is providing to suit the needs of the Guest up to the predefined max.

 

Now the questions:

1:

As the virtual drive is expanded, what happens with the newly available sectors regrading Truecrypt's encryption?

2:

Does Truecrypt magically understand the drive just suddenly got bigger and it needs to encrypt all the new empty sectors?

3:

Do only the originally encrypted sectors remain as the only encrypted data?

4:

Does Player copy the last sector of the original virtual drive and use it as a boilerplate for formatting the sectors it is adding to the expanding virtual drive?

 

Thanks
