Randy,

1MB offset is more of a best practice, than the requirement. That is just to 
preserve the accidental overwrite or corruption of ASM disks during fdisk 
operations.  


 
Have a nice day !!

Subject: asm disks


Currently when I am creating an ASM disk, I present the entire disk /dev/sdc to 
ASM, but I recall reading somewhere, that it might be a good idea to first 
create a 1 meg partition on the disk and then give the rest /dev/sdc2 to ASM.  
Has anyone else heard of this or done this?
 
Randy
