Cannot create volumes above 2.2TB on macOS, on a drive with 4k physical and logical sectors, HELP!

Open tuttledidit opened this issue 1 year ago • 0 comments

I've tried creating hidden volumes using every file system type, but I'm unable to create one above 2.2TB

Expected behavior

Since I am creating on a drive wth 4k local and physical sectors, I'd expect to be able to create much larger volumes, far above 2.2TB.

Observed behavior

I get an error that says I must create a larger volume on a drive with 4k sector size. I am doing exactly that.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Grab a Mac, format a drive with 4k logical and physical sectors. Apple lets you do this easily. I use a Samsung SDD
  2. Try to create a 3.5TB hidden volume. You'll get the error.
  3. That's it, I run the latest OS and version of Veracrypt. 4.HELP!!!
