The summands - the left side:
"The partition numbers are counted from one, not from zero …"
The sum - from the right side of the expression:
"The number ‘0’ is the drive number, which is counted from zero."
:)
Actually the one on the left side is the surplus resulting due to
improper naming scheme(sftp), compared to the previous two.
