+      [disk] must be a block device of the machine.

+      Returns a list of [(owner, owner_offset)] where [owner]

+
+      It is common for there to be multiple owners: for example

+      both the filesystem ([`Filesystem fs]) and
+      partition scheme ([`Partitions parts]) will be returned.
