i am unable to create a large hidden container on a 2TB drive. After creating the outer container it says that I am able to create a hidden container up to 1.8TB, but there is no selection for TB, only KB, MB, and GB. In the GB selection it only allows a small single digit size. A 2GB hidden container is of no use to me. I got this to work correctly a couple of years ago, so has something changed in the software to prevent this?

I'm using version veracrypt-1.24-Update3-Debian-9-amd64.deb. I have been able to do this properly in the past.

I was able to get it to work with no issues by installing version 1.23. So, there seems to be a problem with version 1.24.

Bob I posted in the main thread of my results that I tested from. Seeing someone else having a similar issue prompted my post. Seeing very little about this within the fourms given version 1.24 has been around for a few months. You likely had the same experience. Should be noted you could have typed 1800 .. but you would have likely had an issue after having tried beyond a certain point.

I also had similar experience.
