Sorry, but i doubt that the FAQ entry is correct:
From https://www.veracrypt.fr/en/VeraCrypt%20...ation.html:
Thus a physical volume / device is identical to a file file hosted container. The hash is in the first 512 bytes.
Only for system encryption the hash is in the last 512 bytes of the first track (i.e. sector 62). The first volume usually starts after that at sector 63 (old) or 2048 (newer systems).
From https://www.veracrypt.fr/en/VeraCrypt%20...ation.html:
Quote:The format of file-hosted volumes is identical to the format of partition/device-hosted volumes (however, the "volume header", or key data, for a system partition/drive is stored in the last 512 bytes of the first logical drive track).
