Comment (by phoudoin):
Replying to [comment:6 pdziepak]:
> 1. This patch assumes sector size to be 512 which may not be true (e.g.
4Kn).
Well, MBR partionning assume 512 bytes sectors, real or emulated (512e).
AFAICT, support of native 4096 bytes sectors needs using GPT
partitionning.
> 2. What was wrong with `partition->Size() / partition->BlockSize() <
UINT32_MAX` ?
It was not checking that partition *offset* was also within 32 bits
limits?
