I think you're getting confused about when the space is allocated.
It's allocated when formatting the CF card, so by definition, all
partitions are empty.  The allocation is done based on the overall size
of the card itself.  We can't change the size of partitions once they
have file systems written on them.  At least, not at the moment.

Hope that helps.

Cheers,

a
