- Might I ask as to why this would be important? I don't know of any storage
- devices that are larger than 2 gigabytes, and it would make more sense to
- have anything of that size split into multiple partitions; the minimum
- file allocation (which has been discussed on here before) would be so
- large for small files that you'd be wasting a lot of space as it fills up...
