[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Question on hard disk granularity..

dsrich@engr.uky.edu (Dave Richardson) (01/20/88)

OK, some of this has been batted around, but I haven't really seen the answer
in one piece, so here goes with stupid question:

Do the different versions of MS-DOS have different cluster sizes? (I've seen
it, but which is which, etc.???)  Do any of the have user-selectable sizes?
Is there a utility which would allow one to change the cluster size before
reformatting?

I am stuck with a little hard disk with big clusters, and every little script
(batch file) takes up a horrendous percentage of total disk.  The above is
one possible solution.

Please E-Mail me any answers.  I will summarize to the net as necessary.
