I can't seem to find a way to find the offset of a partition on a
drive without reading the partition table myself. Is there an easy
way to do this?
i.e. given disk1s1 what is it's offset from the beginning of disk1?
No, as Justin already suspected nothing inside a partition tells you
anything about the location of that partition on the disk. And it
would not make much sense either, as partitions are meant to be self-
contained and portable. For example, you can easily copy a partition
into a disk image without modifying anything within the partition.
Bottom line: You have to get access to the partition map.
