NOTES

The Minimum Partition Size, Partition Size, and Suggested Partition Size are all

given in bytes. These values are shown in information windows in kilobytes

Partition Size to match the new Minimum Partition Size. Similarly, if you set

the Partition Size to a value lower than the value of the Minimum Partition

Size, the Finder also adjusts the Minimum Partition Size to match the new

Partition Size.

For example, suppose that the Partition Size and the Minimum Partition Size of
