Is there any inherent danger in running an NTF Volume on the ragged edge of a given Cluster size's Volume size limits ?
(ie. single digit MBs under an 8k cluster size's file system limits)
I recently did an online expansion to an active RAID6 volume and essentially calculated down to the MB, after being denied any larger by Windows, leaving a small partition leftover, that I can work with, after growing the intended volume as much as possible.
I never planned on growing the volume in question and simply accepted default cluster size rec0ommendations when formatting and was too lazy to do a complete destructive re-build.
