Hello, I use version 1.24 update6 and have problems to create on a network folder (QNAP NAS) a volume >12TB.
I choose in the volume creation wizard a normal volume, AES encryption, NTFS format. If the volume is below 12TB, Veracrypt starts formatting the volume and finishes fine. If I choose a size >12 TB, there is no progress bar and speed indicator. Veracrypt after around 10 minutes shows an error message that the path is not available, but it continues writing to the NAS and the volume file is gowing and growing.

Is this a known Issue?
I experienced the same behavior on two different QNAP NAS, both in RAID6, running on ext4 file system. Ext4 should support 16 tebibytes.
thanks
