Hi,

Well, many years ago it used to be suggested to create a smallish boot
partition and then larger data/application partition(s). I think the
reason for this was that some of the early Atari disk drivers used to
loose the first partition's contents occasionally. 

Anyway, the point is that even these days you can encounter a small
partitions on Atari.

OK, 
 
BTW, does it mean that there is a problem with mounting small GEMDOS
partitions in Linux (<32 MB?)? And at the same time you can't mount
larger partitions because of the logical sector size limit (>511 MB)?

Small partitions I can mount as regular MSDOS FAT (-o atari=no) only, unless 
they are <32 MB (in which case it's a 16 bit FAT with few enough clusters to be 
treated as 16 bit FAT by the Atari FAT patch).

I'll try your disk image and see what I get. What disk driver did you create 
these partitions with?
