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. >Will patches be included in upcoming 5.3-release?
