Set NTFS minimum partition size to 2 MiB (#697848)
The minimum NTFS volume size supported by the ntfs-3g mkntfs command
is 1 MiB. Since 1 extra sector is required for the backup NTFS boot
sector, an NTFS partition must be at least 1 MiB plus 1 sector.
To demonstrate, create a 1 MiB unformatted partition using MiB
alignment (/dev/sdd1), and then try to format the partition as NTFS.
# mkntfs -Q -v -L "ntfs-test" /dev/sdd1
Device is too small (1023kiB). Minimum NTFS volume size is 1MiB.
For GParted this means a minimum NTFS partition size of 2 MiB since
the smallest unit in the GUI is MiB.
