Total card size

The following table shows the FAT and MTR

partition sizes for different SD card capacities. The

FAT partition size is set automatically according

to card capacity. The size of the MTR partition on

cards 4 GB or smaller is also fixed, but cards that

are 8 GB or larger have multiple MTR partitions and

their sizes can be chosen. However, the last MTR

partition is set to fill the remaining space on the card

automatically, so its size cannot be chosen.
