In case it wasn't clear, you should do this for every disk in your raid
set. In this machine, I have raid5 over 5 disks, so all 5 of the disks
have that partition.

Because nothing really uses the space after the partition table and
before the aligned sector, you should be just fine.

He was wrong. Nature abhors dimensional abnormalities, and seals them
neatly away so that they don't upset people. Nature, in fact, abhors a
lot of things, including vacuums, ships called the Marie Celeste, and
the chuck keys for electric drills.
