4.2.7
Changing cluster size
Smaller clusters (see Appendix B «Glossary» — «Cluster») might significantly
reduce disk space losses, related to the fact that any file occupies at least
one cluster/block.
Disk space losses depending on cluster size are shown in Appendix A (see
A.9.2 «FAT16» — Table 3).
However reducing FAT32 partition cluster size might increase the space, oc-
cupied by file allocation table (FAT) and slowdown file access.
If you need to change cluster size:
1.
Select disk and partition from the list in Acronis PartitionExpert main
window,
2.
Execute operation of cluster resizing by selecting
