SetBeginOfZone RoundUpToX - minimal gap size

[poutnik]

RoundUpToX in SetBeginOfZone is very nice improvent, good job.

As far as I understand, SetBeginOfZone(RoundUpToMegabytes(500))  sets the gap size 0-500 MB, 
depending on where the previous zone ends. 

I think it could be useful to  set minimal gap size setting for these commands.
E.g.: by SetBeginOfZone(RoundUpToMegabytes(500,100))
I would add "But gap must have at least 100 MB".

Yes.

Thanks for sharing your idea, I appreciate it! You can already do something like that, by using 2 SetBeginOfZone commands together, like this:

Code:

SetBeginOfZone(RoundUpToMegabytes(500))
SetBeginOfZone(PlusMegabytes(100))

Good to know I can use more zone settings...

Jeroen, that is perfect!  I was concerned that this wonderful RoundUp feature would sometimes lead to a gap that was too small too allow for expected growth, so was about to chime in saying that Poutnik's feature suggestion was important to me too. The two commands together do just what I want!

I would even recommend changing your standard scripts to demonstrate that -- it is good to keep some minimum gap between zones.
