This code really needs a comment. E.g.
In the test data

* the partition starts at block 1
* the file hello.txt with content 'Hello world!' is located at 0x5000 of
the disk

Here we read block 0x27 (offset 0x4e00 of the partition) and expect the
string 'Hello world!' to be at the start of the block.

Best regards
