Partition Sizes
With a standard sector size of 512 bytes, the 24 bits used to record the starting and ending sector addresses translates into a maximum possible partition size of 7.8GB (8455716864 bytes) which can be described with these fields. This is particularly important because the same field sizes are employed by the INT 13

disklabels partition sizes differ from FreeBSDs syslog messages on ...
For each tab the partition size is listed as 1.99 GB with 204 MB reserved for recycle. That is, all the partitions are listed to be the SAME SIZE.. HOWEVER, drive C is 6.5 GB in size and each of the other 5 is about 4.6 GB. My settings say to allocate 10% to recycle on each of the partitions.

If your disk crashes and you need to recreate the environment and restore you would have to recreate a single partition on some drive large enough for the offset you originally used.

I don't know the sizes. Anyone got a link to a site explaining partition sizes? Thanks. Well, if you use Norton System Doctor to do the scandisk and its install of SpeedDisk to do the defrag, you CAN stick with 4K clusters on 30G. But a standard format and install will double at every doubling of disk size over 8G

Disk Utility - can't size partitions properly?
The problem is that the arrays have devices of different sizes. One array will be raid6 and will not occupy the whole disks (a small boot partition will be The other array would be a raid5 array, which should be the whole size of the disks.

changing partition size
Disk Utility will format the drive with a single partition of 115.04 GB. Something seems to be royally broke with 10.2's Disk Utility when creating multiple partitions. Everything is fine as long as you don't adjust the partition size. For example, when selecting 8 partitions from the drop-down menu,

Suggestions Please on Partition Sizes for NT4
Swap isn't mounted, so there is no such thing as a '/swap' partition. It's a partition with type '82' which is used as swap.

Partition Size for Operating System
For instance, the smallest file on a 730 MB partition would take around 11 K. The smallest file on a 360 MB partition would only use about 5.5 K. There's a program called Volume Sizer that lists the allocation block size for various partition sizes. *Have you ever run Norton Utilities, Speed Disk, etc.,

Partition size & performance
NTFS uses 64-bit fields for all sizes, permitting its data structures to handle volumes up to 2^64 bytes (16 exabytes or 18446744073709551616 bytes). This value is the theoretical limit for the NTFS file system. Practical limits having to do with the maximum allowable partition size described above limit the size

Partition sizes- conflicting info on limits..
The C drive is now down to 4GB and I am wanting to either change the partition sizes (change C from 10 to 25 and leave D with 5GB) or possibly move the exchange system to the D drive releaving the pressure on the C partition.

Partition Sizes
Your / partition size is way, *WAY* too small, since it has to hold /tmp as well as /var information on it. Your partition size for / is fine. You don't want /tmp or /var/tmp on it, you should make symlinks into /usr for them. You basically haven't got enough space to hold temporary files to do anything big.
