I have used -G with -Z and -z to reduce the used size of each disk, but the man page says you need some extra space at the end of the disk for the metadata ( format 1.0 ), but doesn't specify exactly how much. I need to know what the exact size of the reduced partition should be. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.17 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJRGmVUAAoJEJrBOlT6nu7591gIAIxoEWfN0L84UhaEwbKjzaOi MXeCEdMjiGi5a4DCkl8FkKsrAHDHrmFKJ5hBr8u6DfS8rHyX7CmdUz5aVW1VhK/e /bo44Vsrl/Tj7nqBYX4rxm3yhPzN17tTGKcf0lunWXFg9Ykv4Gc4EefzSsjTPbZf oHepjklaik2tff3JCuxP7nv3I97BULmVvKJFKgeooK9QB6F5pRY1LnjRNhM91CKN zkvoi3mitmK6fGZ+N7PUiogv2TczvX6m+yeNFb7Qw7opsrdErh7TH752efeKQ4bU Iwomx1kYZT2k2swo+SahkZr58bfBkTzG5KZXUojEXO/pTX1vJFg+FOoVZ5m0bLY= =k41W -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
