  Hmm, I've checked the standard and you're right.

  OK, probably makes sence. Thanks for the fix. I've merged the patch with
a few cosmetic changes:
  1) We don't call udf_check_valid() with 'silent' set when checking
with the hardware sector size. It's not like we're going to flood logs
with error messages so it should be fine and user knows what's happening.
  2) I've added a message that we're rescanning the volume with new
blocksize.
  3) I've changed udf_check_blocksize() to udf_check_volume() which IMO
better describes what the function does.
  4) udf_check_blocksize() returned 0 when it succeeded and 1 when it
failed. I know some UDF functions do this but the other way around is more
logical (and usual in the rest of the kernel) and I try to convert the
functions to this style when I find them. So I've changed the function
to return 1 when it succeeds finding the anchor and 0 when it fails.
  The resulting patch is attached.
