Actually, there is no way to tell if the there is another encrypted volume in existence or not. One might stipulate that there "could" be if the filesize is obvious, but when you get into gig size files that are storing small amounts of data, that argument loses value.Well, yes, if you are trying to hide small amounts of data, then there are many ways to do it with plausible deniability. I thought you were talking about booting entire separate OSes based on boot-time password. Would be hard to hide that amount of data without at least raising suspicion to a determined investigator. Then again, many investigators are not determined. Keep the partition small, put it inside another encrypted partition, maybe they'll miss it.
