For example, in the case of a typical GPT partition table in a typical disk, the REQUIRED grain would be 1B (so we can create a partition of any size), but the OPTIMAL grain is 1MiB (so we try to only distribute the space in virtual "disk slices" of 1MiB)....
1MiB at the front is a convention. How did optimal *grain* get to be so big? 20h/32d 512 byte sectors should be sufficient for optimal if block size is a fairly generous 16k, no, and 8 512 byte sectors for those content with 4096 byte block sizes? Largest block size used here is 4096 bytes, with 1024 common. -- "Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom. Whatever else you get, get wisdom." Proverbs 4:7 (New Living Translation) Team OS/2 ** Reg.
