Regarding Clusters sizes in an Extended Partition;

Is the size of the cluster determined after you created an extended partition and before you add a logical drive letter
OR
Is the cluster size determined per logical drive you create whereeach logical drive would have its own cluster size within the extended partition ?

The cluster size will follow the rules based on the size of the logical drive.

At least that is what I have seen when I have set up drives under FAT32 in W9X.

Since the format operation is what creates the clusters, it follows that the clustersize is determined by the logical drive, and not the partition size.
