Interesting point!
If you have a multi session disk, then bad things may happen if the
OS reads more then 150 kB bejond a session end ad the read capacity
command returns the end of the last session.
If the OS fails because it tries to read more than 150 kB bejond an
ardess that is listed as part of the used media, then it is broken.
