[Disksim-users] disk block address space

[John Bucy]

It sounds like that's a bug, perhaps in the layout code.  In general,
that model is *very* old.  I think about the newest one in the 3.0
release distribution is the atlas10k model which you might want to try
instead.  And in response to your question, you definitely should be
able to access every lbn from 0 to n-1.
