Error: The hidden volume to be created is larger than 2 TB (2048 GB).

Possible solutions:
- Create a container/partition smaller than 2 TB.
- Use a drive with 4096-byte sectors to be able to create partition/device-hosted hidden volumes up to 16 TB in size.

Unlike the FAT filesystem, the NTFS filesystem always stores internal data exactly in the middle of the volume. Therefore, the hidden volume can reside only in the second half of the outer volume.
