When you go to create a new volume that is over 128tb, ntfs is not an option on the volume format screen. I am not using a container here. It's a partition on my server.

Expected behavior

It should be an option since the NTFS file system doesn't have a restriction that caps it at 128tb.

Observed behavior

Steps to reproduce

  1. Have 128tb free available
  2. Go through the steps to create a new volume until you get to the point in the screenshot above.

Your Environment

windows server 2022

VeraCrypt version: 1.26.7 (64bit)

Operating system and version:
OS Name: Microsoft Windows Server 2022 Datacenter
OS Version: 10.0.20348 N/A Build 20348

System type: 64-bit

Workaround is either to create it with the format set to none and then format it yourself after it's created or create it with a size under 128tb, then expand it past that point.
