This option enables relocating + the main partition table from sector 2 (the default location) to somewhere + else on the disk. The main reason I know of to do this is if the disk is + to be used with a system-on-chip (SoC) computer, some of which require the + boot loader to be located at sector 2. If you pass this option the default + value of 2, it has the effect of reducing the padding placed between the + main partition table and the first usable sector value created by the + Linux fdisk tool. + - Updated man pages with new recommendations for ESP and BIOS Boot Partition sizes. |
