So, a file spans multiple clusters if it is big enough. But, can it span multiple partitions? When there is such a trade-off with a cluster, why would anybody use such a concept which is waste of memory and I am guessing somewhat little bit more time to retrieve? Or does it depends upon usage/utilization?
I would think no
