I would do it to be on the safe side if I were you. If it is very
cumbersome, it would be possible to tell from the four keysector
locations and the disk-size if there is any danger: basically if
any of the "unused" locations address modulus 2^32 are inside the
size of the disk, then the volume is at risk.

yes.

yes.
