I had attempted to follow his suggestion. Lost my log of doing it.
Will rerun this weekend.

I thought you were asking "Why am I interested in keeping that partition

very different threat than this.

Yes. But there is, for my goals, a favorable cost/benefit ratio.
It has been mentioned before that many consider my goals strange.
