gnome-disks crashes when trying to create 3000 GB LUKS Ext4 partition

[Daniel Kessel]

I created a GPT volume on the disk, and tried to create a 3000 GB LUKS Ext4 partition, leaving 1 GB at the end of the disk empty (at least that is what the tool showed).

After entering the details and clicking "Create", gnome-disks crashes.

I hope this will help to understand this bug and to patch it. It's annoying users (i am sure) :( I cannot make partition through standard utility of disks for Linux Mint.
