> Ok, so if the offsets are the same => previousSize == 0, is covered, the
base case is covered, as stated above a sort is performed on the offsets,
so the offsets are either equal or the current offset is strictly greater
than the previous offset.

Well, a file system can't do much about a too short partition. Access via
a file descriptor to the partition is restricted to the partition's
bounds. The only thing the file system could to is to open the parent
partition or device, but that is strongly discouraged.
