=46rom what I recall gdisk just starts at sector 2048, doesn't this leave s=
pace=20
for MBR code? Note the message "MBR: protective" below:
# gdisk /dev/sda
GPT fdisk (gdisk) version 0.8.10
Partition table scan:
MBR: protective
BSD: not present
APM: not present
GPT: present
=46ound valid GPT with protective MBR; using GPT.
Command (? for help): p
Disk /dev/sda: 468862128 sectors, 223.6 GiB
Logical sector size: 512 bytes
Disk identifier (GUID): E682BFC8-0C85-459B-BA14-87F4E68CD711
Partition table holds up to 128 entries
=46irst usable sector is 34, last usable sector is 468862094
Partitions will be aligned on 2048-sector boundaries
Total free space is 27368557 sectors (13.1 GiB)
