NTFS Change Journal

Hi,

I'm working on an application that makes use of the NTFS change journal.
From searching Google it seems like the change journal is not that
popular. I still hope to find anyone here who can answer my question:

The MSDN docs state that one could simply resize the change journal
by using the FSCTL_CREATE_USN_JOURNAL control code with
DeviceIoControl() and specify the new MaximumSize and AllocationDelta.

However, when I do this from my app I can never make it smaller. Enlargening
it only works when I specify values around certain thresholds. Setting the
AllocationDelta alone also does not work as expected.

All this does not harm my application but I would like to know if this is
a known system restriction? The fsutil.exe command line tool shows the same
behavior. And the only articles I know of (Jeffrey Cooperstein/Jeffrey
Richter)
don't mention any problems with it (probably because they were written
prerelease)

Anyone?

thanks,
Nick
