Under FreeBSD 12.0 the command mkntfs -Q /dev/da3s1 (with the quick-format flag) still takes a very long time (not finished after some hours) for a 1 TB hard disk drive.
It gives the following warning:
The partition start sector was not specified for /dev/da3s1 and it could not be obtained automatically. It has been set to 0.
The number of sectors per track was not specified for /dev/da3s1 and it could not be obtained automatically. It has been set to 0.
The number of heads was not specified for /dev/da3s1 and it could not be obtained automatically. It has been set to 0.
Cluster size has been automatically set to 4096 bytes.
To boot from a device, Windows needs the 'partition start sector', the 'sectors per track' and the 'number of heads' to be set.
Windows will not be able to boot from this device.
Creating NTFS volume structures.
How can I get a similar speed as in Windows for a quick format?
