Depending on the data in the disk, it ends up creating partitions with awkward lengths. We saw logs like this while playing with fio. [5.625867] nvme2n1: AHDI p2 [5.625872] nvme2n1: p2 size 2910030523 extends beyond EOD, truncated People has had issues with misinterpreted AHDI partition tables for a long time, see this BSD thread from 1995, for example. https://mail-index.netbsd.org/port-atari/1995/11/19/0001.html Since the atari partition, according to the spec, doesn't even support sector sizes with more than 512, a quick sanity check is reasonable to just bail out early, before even attempting to read sector 0.
