"The offset for your first new partition should be the same as the
"sectors/track" reported earlier in disklabel's output. For us it is
63."
I've always used 0 as the offset of my first partition. However, I've
also see people use the above rule of setting the first offset to the
sectors/track. Anyone know why?
