Not sure - I had begun to tease apart the assembly to answer that, but
got sidetracked. You may well be right that I'm still doing 32 bit
muls. The old parser used signed int which is why it overflowed above
1 TB. Haven't had the time to gin up an RDB exceeding 2 TB yet.

Will do that.

Just an optimization for my overflow calculations ...

Thanks, I knew I was missing something there.

No, we need to catch any partition address overflowing. nr_sects >
UINT_MAX may be redundant though.

Any partition overflowing means danger lurks (in AmigaDOS of
sufficient vintage, that is)

The first partition (partly) outside 2 TB will warn. But the point
about partition ordering later is well taken.

OK.

Checkpatch catch-22 (thou shalt not exceed 80 cols, thou shalt not
split string consts over multiple lines, and thou shalt not use
pr_cont() without good cause). I'll ignore the 80 cols error then.

Can do, yes.

Right. I wasn't aware of the funky ordering feature (only seen it on
MacOS before, and I have always held that's as weird as it gets).
I'll try to get a new version out before tomorrow.
