Citation: ... For Advanced Format 4K Native drives (4-KB-per-sector) drives, the minimum size is 260 MB, due to a limitation of the FAT32 file format. The minimum partition size of FAT32 drives is calculated as sector size (4KB) x 65527 = 256 MB.
Why did we choose a minimum of 256 when the explicit minimum on Windows is not 256, but 260? Were someone with a 4K sector boot disk and 256 ESP wanting to add Windows to the system, it would require an additional ESP partition according to the referred to Windows document. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
