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. This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
