If the combination of volume number and partition number is not valid, the drive terminates the READ

First
Attribute
Identifier
Specifies the attribute identifier of the first attribute to be returned.
Allocation
Length
Specifies how many bytes are allocated for the returned parameter list. If the
value in this field is not sufficient to contain the entire parameter list, the drive
returns the truncated list; this is not considered an error. If the remainder of the
list is required, the application client either: 1) sends a new READ ATTRIBUTE
command with the Allocation Length field set to a large enough value to contain
the entire parameter list, or 2) uses the First Attribute Identifier field to restrict the
attributes returned.
