Apparently it is already possible (and was for quite some time) for all 
three major OSes (Linux, OS X, Windows). The difficulties are mostly 
related to partitioning schemes and block size, which is detailed in

Someone else put the script that resulted from this investigation on GitHub:

Since I haven't tested this yet, I cannot say if that still works 
(things might have changed since 2010).
