--asz_size={<size>{s|kb|mb|gb}|unallocated}
If no measurement unit is specified, the size is measured in megabytes (mb).
Command: create asz
In the create asz command, the parameter specifies the size of Acronis Secure Zone.
If the parameter is not specified, the size is set as the average between the maximal (unallocated space plus free space on the volumes selected with the --volume parameter) and minimal (about 50 MB) values.
Either way, the software will first use the unallocated space. If there is not enough unallocated space, the selected volumes will be decreased. Resizing of locked volumes requires a reboot.
With the unallocated value, the zone will use all unallocated space on the disk. Volumes will be moved, if necessary, but will not be resized. Moving of locked volumes requires a reboot. The --volume parameter is ignored.
Command: resize asz
In the resize asz command, the parameter specifies the new size of Acronis Secure Zone.
If you increase Acronis Secure Zone, the software will behave in the same way as described earlier for the create asz command.
If you decrease Acronis Secure Zone, the freed space will be added to the volumes specified in the --volume parameter. Resizing of locked volumes requires a reboot. Without the --volume parameter or if the --asz_size parameter is set to unallocated, the freed space becomes unallocated.
If the parameter is not specified, the software just displays the current Acronis Secure Zone size and free space.
