Next step, fire the sysadmin for not reading the logbook, o not making a disk image first :-p
I've seen crazy things happen. Especially during an outage, and they're trying to get a system back up.
Under stress, people start forgetting obvious things. The best thing to do is to not set up each other for failure.
I know. Then stick a label on the disk itself.
The drawback to using the partition table and making the whole disk part of partition one is about a penny's worth of disk space. The drawback to having a mishap because someone forgot that the disk is using the partition table space for real data -- low end is probably hundreds of dollars.
Its a whole track, I think, but don't ask me why. It is the partition table plus some space reserved, which is used in linux to store grub program (the 1st sector is not enough). In any case, you are right, it is a small space. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
