Whole disk.

Parted expects protective MBR to have a single entry for GPT (the GPT
itself contains the partitions). However, gptsync also has MBR point to
partitions after the GPT. Note that partitions are off by one as MBR
still has entry for GPT. The GPT does not have an entry itself.

Gptsync is part of rEFIt used to run Debian GNU/Linux on Intel Mac
hardware.
