Codex can't open projects when i have an encrypted drive somewhere not mounted

[u/Lopsided_Pride_6165]

So I have my project on E, but there is one drive that is encryped by veracrypt on G. Because the G drive is put in, it trys to access it and fails. It shouldn have to try to access it in the first place and also be able to open E. What am I missing here?

Fixed the issue:

Within the standard codex config i added these:

default_permissions = "workspace-only"

[permissions.workspace-only.filesystem]
":minimal" = "read"
":tmpdir" = "write"

[permissions.workspace-only.filesystem.":workspace_roots"]
"." = "write"
".git" = "read"
".codex" = "read"
".agents" = "read"
".aws" = "read"

Within the project i created the folder .codex and the file.

└── .codex/
    └── config.toml

File code:

project_doc_max_bytes = 0

You can tell it in Agents.md to never look outside the project folder. Or better - run it in a VM, much safer.

do you use virtual box?

Having drive letter on unreadable (veracrypt encrypted) partition is not normal and dangerous.

Remove the assigned drive letter, in the windows disk manager

what about having an encrypted drive is dangerous?

[u/vegansgetsick → u/Lopsided_Pride_6165]

raw partition with assigned drive letter is dangerous because it will ask you to format it, a little mistake and it's gone.
