fresh cygwin installation

fresh cygwin installation

[t s]

I need to make a fresh installation of cywgin. The drive I propose to install to is detailed in;

http://www.cpm86.com/sdcard.jpg

It's an NTFS drive with 238 GB capacity, allocation unit size 4096 bytes.

Before I make a mistake; can someone confirm this these are suitable drive parameters for a default Cygwin installation?

Thank you.

I see no problem with the params themselves, but why on an SD card?
Are you planning to keep the SD card in the computer forevermore/only
when using CYGWIN, or are you looking to create a portable CYGWIN
install?  Something else?

I am planning to keep the SD card in my computer for ever and ever.

My laptop has a 128 GB internal SSD, so I bought an SD card to extend its permanent storage.

Thanks for your advice.
