Correct. It will look like the disk was unlocked, but the real data
remains hidden.

That was my point, and I mis understood what you meant by dummy key
apaprently.  Are you talking about an encryted and steganographic
filesystem such that after a request is made (and granted) for the key
to the encrypted file|filesystem the nested encrypted file|filesystem
will go undetected and thus a key will never be requested for it?

How very Oniony...
