 File system header check. If disk partitions look like [ sda1 [ sda2 ] ]
 (very unlikely), and sda1's file system is bigger than
 `len(sda1)-len(sda2)` -- it is definitely a serious error and those
 partitions cannot be mounted. If not (file systems have no common
 sectors), there should be an error message. We can mount them -- but
 without pleasure.
