I have created a very large encrypted file container (ex: 500GB) on Veracrypt 1.23-Hotfix-2, however, it is taking a very long time to format it (>24 hours). On Windows, there is no option to "Quick format" when creating file container. If I were to create a encrypted partition, then the "Quick format" option appears.

Becasue there is no option for "quick format", it is taking hours (>24h hr) to format. I intented on filling the entire file container with data...
