You are absolutely right about that! I have not thought of that before. But
you learn something new every day, thanks!
I have also noticed during my tests that it don't makes any differece what
blocksize I set for the partition. Both the partition and the data on it is
still accessible after the change of the blocksize, although HDtoolbox says
that all data will be lost and the changes requires a reboot. Is this
possible?! It works for me, but it shouldn't.. i think.. ??
Any comments about this?
I have a 9.1GB SCSI-disk and PFS 3.
