- I couldn't find the answer to this in a FAQL, so I guess I'll post.
-
- I'm looking for a table that looks like this:
-
- Partition size Minimum file size
- ============== =================
- 32MB 512 bytes
- ... ....
-
- (NOTE: The above example is not based in fact.)
-
- I'd like to see this because I just purchased a 210 MB HD, and the minimum
- file size is 4K!!! (Ouch.) I'd like to optimally partition it, but I
- don't know if the 16-bit block counter I've heard about is signed (32K blocks)
- or unsigned (64Kblocks).
-
- Thanks. Post, E-mail, etc. away!
