I think that the german translation is probably more confusing than
the original English here, which is "Usage method".
In french we used "Methode d'utilisation" which, like English more
clearly mentions that this is the *way* the partition will be used....
The fact that you back-translated "Zugriffsmethode" to "Access method"
makes me believe that the german wording is not completely appropriate
here....
