what about minimum block size?
My reasons for partitioning before was the minimum block size-- partitioning created smaller blocks. I would think with all the thousands of itsy bitsy files that *nix based OSes have, this would still be a reason to partition. You seem rather worked up about this, so please note I am not challenging you, I am attempting to improve my knowledge. Please let me know what you think.

The minimum block size is 4K on HFS+ disks (well, it can be chosen differently when you format the disk, but I've never seen that happen). In the days of HFS, you could only have a maximum of 65536 blocks on a disk, so the bigger the disk, the bigger the block size. But no such limitation is present on HFS+ disks.

thanks-- did not know that!

Actually, there is a limit to the number of files on an HFS+ disk. It is 2^32, so around 4.29 billion. |
