Bug Description

When I try to add an encrypted partition to a 64GB SD or MicroSD card, the disks tool either times out or crashes. I have tested on both Mate and Cinnamon.

This works correctly on LinuxMint 17.x, it is only a problem on 18.x. I have also tested this on both Mate and Cinnamon.

To reproduce:

Launch Disks
Insert new 64GB SD card
Delete exFat partition
Add new encrypted partition:
* Use full SD card (Free Space Following = 0)
* Type = Encrypted, compatible with Linxux systems (LUKS + Ext4)

Disks either times out or crashes. Crash happens every time with Micro SD.
