The DR behaves normally, but only ablates from cutting damage.

Like with DR 1, 1 basic damage has 0 penetrating damage, 2 basic damage has 2 penetrating damage?

You could stack or either-or this with ablative too:
1) stacked: small damage is lessened and ablates, big damage is not lessened, but still ablates
2) either: small damage is lessened and does not ablate, big damage is lessened but ablates
Yes, All-Or-Nothing means it either completely stops the attack or fails completely. Stacking it on ablative would be quite weird, I'm not sure what behavior that would be representative of.
