How to encrypt an 8TB disk with Veracrypt with hidden partition?

When I try to encrypt an USB 8tb drive (Seagate Expansion Drive) with Veracrypt to create a Hidden Veracrypt volume, I receive this error: > 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. I'm new to Veracrypt and Linux. If I understood it correctly, to have an 8tb hidden partition I need to format the drive so that it'll have *"4096-byte sectors"*. I'm not finding this option in GParted. Hence, my question is: *How can I in Linux Mint format the drive to have 4096-byte sectors, in order for me to install a Hidden Veracrypt partition?* Steps taken to reproduce the problem: 1. Launch Veracrypt and choose "Create a volume within a partition/drive" 2. In "Volume Type" choose "Hidden Veracrypt Volume" 3. When in "Outer Volume Format", click format. Thus the error message I quoted will be displayed I'm using the latest version of Veracrypt and Linux Mint
