NTFS best allocation unit size for Ext4 Linux Guest
Posted: 5. Aug 2013, 10:55
Hello
Which allocation unit size should I choose when formatting NTFS partition on Windows 7 host dedicated to store Virtualbox x86 Linux LAMP guests machines (VDI, Ext4)? There will be a lot of small files stored which belong to various CMS systems.
By default NTFS will format to allocation unit size = 4096 bytes
I was reading HOW TO (viewtopic.php?p=29273#p29273) but I'm still not sure so please share with me some simple answer.
Best regards
