Partition sizes on new hard drive w/Win98
Mandrake let me set up only one swap partition but of any size I liked, I wasn't limited to 128 Mb. Are Mandrake using a different filesystem on their swap partition or what are they doing differently? Nothing. 2.2.x kernels are not limited to 128. I do CD burning and mp3 stuff so I've got a 512 meg swap space.

Maximum size of a NTFS partition under W2003 32bit
I have unused partition on my drive C: and I need to format it in FAT32. May I ask why FAT32, what prevents you to format in NTFS ? This is a decision that Microsoft have taken to limit FAT32 partition sizes to 32 Gb, and written the tool accordingly. Why they have taken this decision is a good question.

CLUSTER SIZE
I currently have the boot partition as FAT for dos use, and the other partition (D:\) as NTFS. I now understand that NT will boot from a partition of up to 4Gb so I didn't need to divide it anyway. No, it will _install_ to partitions of up to 4GB (it's FAT16 handler supports this size), it can boot off far larger

I have three partitions on my hard drive but hopelessly underestimated my partition size needs. Stupidly, I made them all 10 GB, which is good enough for the F: and G: partitions but the C: drive is almost full. How do I increase them without wiping the C: drive? I can quite easily move the entire contents of

Partition sizes (was: Questions)
Everything is fine as long as you don't adjust the partition size. For example, when selecting 8 partitions from the drop-down menu, I was given 8 partitions of 14.38 GB each for a total of 115.04 GB. but as soon as I changed the partition sizes, a large amount of space was lost. With Disk Utility, I have the

Partition sizes in MDK9x. TIA
I have nothing against the /swap partition, but having seperate partitions for /, /home, /bin, etc. gets realy limiting. On one similar system I set up one of the default partition sizes (I think /bin) was something around 100MB, and it quickly filled durring instilation leaving the system installation usesless.

Solaris does not boot - wrong partition sizes
I'm just about done building the box and am looking for information for partition sizes for installing Mandrake 8.2 on drive D: (Windows2000 will be installed on the C: drive). Should I take a default 8.2 install on the D: drive and then resize the partitions afterwards (if necessary) using DiskDrake or should I do

modifying partition sizes?
I figured the default partition sizes would be good enough. For me, on a 6 GB IDE drive, they are slice 0 (root) = 1.5 GB, slice 1 (swap) = .5 GB, slice 7 (/export/home) = 4 GB. Yikes! Solaris 8 does not ship with a compiler! Didn't know that. Since I'm using gcc-3.2.2 on my Linux box, lets try that.

partition sizes on 160GB HDD
This is what limits Windows NT 4.0 to a 7.8 GB system partition (http://support. microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;en-us;q224526). As to what are the limits due to BIOS and hardware for drive sizes (not partition sizes), that depends on the hardware and BIOS. LBA support in BIOS was first added to get around the

boot partition size
As far as i now the advantage is that you can change partition sizes but how often would i need that, especially when i know, for this system, what sizes are more or less required? My big question was is it worth it to have anything more than / and /home on a home system and, apparently, there's no real gain.

If, for example, you boot with a FAT32 Windows 98 or Windows 95 OSR 2 system disk with FDISK and format, you can use a single partition that includes the entire disk.

installation and partition size questions
Linux has some fast way to access a swap partition through low-level functions. (Any Linux expert around to confirm this?) But Windows does not. Windows uses a normal file. When the swap file is not fragmented and not extended, it can never fragment. The only two times when a swap file can become fragmented are

I'm thinking of 750 for system, 1100 for apps and 750 for data. Should I put the paging file on the system partition or create one just for it

Deciphering scandisk and hard drive size
JACE is using a partition size of 1024. I tested the JACE spring reverb example. JACE uses SSE2 and FFTW3 as far as I know. So, I guess with a hypothetical 4GHz machine it would be around 4% for a one second stereo impulse. It seems to be quite sensitive to latency though, so with very low latencies this could
