1 Hi,
2
3 modern fdisk puts the first partition at block 63 while older version
4 have put it at block 1.
5
6 Now, I'm going to upgrade an older system.
7 Is it safe to repartition it by letting the first partition start 63
8 and shortening the first partition by 62 blocks?

10 (I will loose the first partition which doesn't matter in my case.)

12 Many thanks for sharing your experience,
13 Helmut.
