um, bad idea?
I may be wrong, IANADTE (I Am Not A Disk Technology Export), but I thought that the AppleFree zones were so that if sectors of the disk went bad, the disk could use space from that zone to keep the available disk volume the same. I think that if you delete those and get bad sectors you can lose data.
Don't partition MacOX drives. No need to.
A separate swap-partition reduces the fragmentation in the system and user parts of the disk. Yes, I know that Mac OS X automatically defragments some files nowadays.
um, bad idea?
It does not work like that. When a sector goes bad it is marked in the file allocation table (FAT) as "don't use". The FAT is stored in a part of the disk you can't access with normal formatting tools, including pdisk. |
