Re: How to set number of blocks in fdisk GPT

Thanks Kirill.

Yes, I saw that, but in my case, FAT32 is not the file format that I am using to encrypt the partition. The partition is on an SSD with 4.2BSD filesystem.

As suggested at https://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq14.html you may use 532480.

Which is the minimum size of such partition due to a limitation of FAT32.
